Lump on side of betta

[CarpCharacin]

I noticed a while ago that my betta has a lump on his side, and it appears to be getting larger, however he is still acting and eating fine. Any idea what it is?

Could be a tumor. No other symptoms showing?

Could be a tumor. Poop looks normal? Acting normal?

I haven't seen his poop recently, actually. It seems like it grew more quickly than a tumor would.

Try adding a little Epsom salt 1 tbsp per 5g. It’ll help get some poop out and maybe reduce he swelling.

If it's hard it's probably cancerous. Not much you can do other than surgery.

It almost looks like it has moved from a few days ago, I'm not sure what it is. I'll add the Epsom salt.
