Could be a pro-lapsed anus. I had an angel fish with this condition and it seemed to occur when he ate too many bloodworms. Nothing you really can do about it other than wait and see if it gets better, in my case I limited the number of bloodworms given at one time. Of course, it could be something else altogether, though looking at the fish whatever the cause it doesn't really look like it will get better, sorry. There are others in the group that are a lot more knowledgeable about fish conditions and disease than me.

the fish is better, it disappeared but left with a bit of red there. you may be right! i will reduce feeding too high protein as well
