At that size its hard to say really, I had a pacu until it outgrew my tank! they grow extremely fast! fastest growing fish I've ever kept, they need a HUGE tank! But once mine did have a swollen bottom lip, reddish in colour. It could have swam into some decor and hurt itself, just keep your water quality up and make sure your feeding it good quality food! (dont overfeed) It should heal up itself, however have you noticed any other symptoms?
