Its hard to tell from that picture. It could be a tumor or protruding intestines but it could also be a parasite. Here is a link to a thread I started when I had Camallanus. Does it look like any of those pictures?

FYI.....bloodfin tetra do not enjoy da'buttsecks
look closely at the diet, my need some more green, veggie, matter. Can't tell from the pic if it is just inflammation or growth.

No, it doesn't look like that.
It seems like an inflammation because it is slightly red and wasn't there a week ago. Also the fish seems to twitch/shudder sometimes.
I drop a slice of blanched zucchini in the tank every two weeks as well, and leave it all day and overnight before removing it. It's usually about half eaten, and I've seen everyone get a piece of the action, including the bloodfins.
