First glance and guess would be a birth defect.

The fry looks like it didn't fully develop before birth. To me, it looks like it's still attached to an egg sac/partial egg sac.
The usual cause of defects in fry is improper care of or stressing the adult fish. It could also have something to do with diet. Check your water parameters, and give us the number values. Other tank mates? How's the mother doing? You may see other defects in fry that are not so noticable, e.g. deformed fins. In the end, this particular fry may not make it, or he could continue to develop under the right conditions. |

This fish is either fused to an undeveloped egg, or it has suffered a huge hernia and it's peritoneum is sticking out of it. ( or something akin to that )
In either case, it isn't going to make it. Sorry about that. |

Just to point out...torturing the fish would not be advisable
 . Meaning, don't listen to the above poster about popping it...
