weird convict cichlid

[steemoney86]

I have a convict cichlid and i just noticed his butt or whatever it is looks pretty big almost like a penis or something i was just wondering if you could tell me what it is or if this is normal or not??

It is probably the egg tube or what ever that is called...

the ovipositor

Meaning it's most likely female

Does it have orange markings on its side?
