    Hello, I am a young, new betta owner and was wondering if you had any advice! I have a 2.5 gallon unfiltered, planted tank in my dorm with one male betta. The room stays at 75° for him and he has 2 tiny catfish that he gets along with. I have a lot of live plants and a wood branch for him, but I...

    I noticed this morning that my betta seems to have a growth on his face that seems to have appeared out of nowhere. He is still eating and swimming fine but can anyone help me with what it could be? And should I be concerned? I have tried to take pics of it.

    Hi, I just brought my female betta, Jade, back from a fish-sitter. When I put her back in her tank I noticed a big lump on her side and I‘m not sure what’s causing it. I’m guessing it’s constipation and not swim bladder because she‘s not having any trouble swimming.

    I bred my betta fish (yellow hellboy male and koi galaxy female) last summer as a beginner and had a whooping 500+ babies. They are 7 months old now and a few had developed similar white lumps on the side of their bodies. I've noticed that the ones that do get the lumps are often...

    Hey everyone, My beta fish has had a lump on his stomach for as long as I've had him (about 5 months), and I was worried about it at first but then it seemed to just be part of his shape. Now it seems that the lump is secreting a white substance, which is being released into the water. Does...

    Howdy! I recently got a betta fish from a relative about 10 days ago (who obviously had not been taking great care of him). When I got him, he had a lump on his side (see first image), and now it has gotten bigger and more white (see next photos). He is incredibly happy right now, eats great...

    Hi hi :) I have a recent thread I posted that has become very long due to all of the incredible help I’ve received (absolutely love this forum lol), so I thought I’d create a new one specifically for this lump to see if I can reach a wider audience to get some opinions!! My white opal male...

    Hello everyone, UPDATE: I noticed today that there seems to be a lump forming on the other side. That side is protruding too. I noticed my Betta had a small lump on his side around 2 weeks ago. He had fish rot when I got him, and after treatments, he was doing very well. I could not take him...

    Hello! I am rather new to the betta world and my current betta, Proteus, is the only one I have ever owned. I have had him for around half a year now, though I have noticed that he has some strange growth on his side. I think the lump appeared around 2 or 3 months ago, but I had assumed it was...

    Ever sense January of this year, one of my bettas has had a lump growing on his side for 6 months now. I've made a post about this and i've tried all of the suggestions the community has given me to no avail. It has only led him to become stressed out a begin tail biting. I dont want my poor...

    Jet has had a small lump on one side of his body for a few months. It didn't seem to bother him or affect his appetite or energy, so I assumed it was nothing to be concerned about and figured he might just be eating too much. Recently, it has become much larger and he is lethargic. The last...
