Swelling?

[KittyJun]

I was taking pictures of my male betta, George today and I noticed some redish-yellow swelling. I've done a site search and didn't see anything related. I figured it was safe to go ahead and post a new topic regarding it.

Here is the picture:



Does anyone have any idea as to what could have caused this?

Hello and welcome to the forum. Is it just on one side?

Oh, haha. I didn't even think to introduce myself I'm so worried about him. I'm sorry! The name is Dena by the way. And thank you. Yes it is on both sides, it's kinda like a bulbous sack underneath him swelling out.

What do you feed him and how much?

3-4 pellets a day.

That rules out overfeeding. I have no idea what it could be unless it's a tumor of some kind. Hopefully, someone will come along who knows more about it than I do.
