What Is This Please?

So for Father's Day my wife bought me some Endlers from the kids, I've just noticed this on one of them




Apologies for the quality, hard work trying to get a pic of an endler with my phone.

It's a red "string", only on this one fish. It's swimming fine, eating and generally acting normal.

They've eaten Hikari mini pellets and Tetra Pro Colour so far. I initially thought it was just poop but it's still there and red.

It's probably just poo. Tetra Pro Colour contains red pigments, so it can turn fish poo reddish.
 
Most likely the little guy has just stuffed himself; give the tank a day or two with no feeding and see how he looks then

Agreed.

I think it looks kinda cool. It matches.

my lot get fed TetraPrima which is bright orange in colour and my lot poo reddy/orange so I agree too

Thanks everyone, I thought it may be but just wanted to check with the colour. I'll give them a 24hr fast. I've just dropped a few sinking wafers in for the corys but I've not seen the endlers go for them before and the cory gang don't usually take too long to finish them.
