I got some Red Jewels from a champ yesterday, and one of the Red Jewels didn't look in good nick, so I put him in his own tank. Looks bloated with a bleeding anus. Is it bloat? Worms?

Videos are on private but i assume its like red string coming from its butt. Is it Callumnus worms?

No string, just a red dot where the bum is

Couldnt really see it but im leaning on a prolapse. If so, try some epsom salts baths first and no feeding for a couple of days. One teaspoon to ten L of water 20 min at a time for the duration of the day , 3 times and see if that helps. With an air stone for movement of course
