Hi:
can you give a little more info?
Is this a new addition?, did you just add it to the tank from another of your tanks, or get it from a pet store?
What are your water parameters, any of your other fish also exhibiting problems.
The reddness, and swelling is a bacterial infection, and the stuff hangin out of his butt maybe a few things..One answer might be a prolapsed rectum (part of his intestines) caused by starvation or a parasite. Alternatively, it might also be a turd or the actual parasite, your description needs to be better is we're gonna be accurate. I look forward to reading more info
