I received my bettas Yesterday and one of the Hm males was lazy so i looked at it closely and noticed a swollen red colour bump on one of its side. I have attached photos. The scales only on this swollen portion are raised, other scales are normal. No external parasite visible. Betta Experts Please kindly, advice how to treat it and what could be the reason for this bump?

seen the pic ..lazy ness is ok some bettas are very very lethargic but the red bump im seeing now ....keep changing water once in day 80% at least for 3-4 days and each time add a pinch of rock salt (not black salt )...and if u have almond leaves bring it to boil to get the black extract quickly and add after cooling it 100ml in betta tank or u can use rid-all anti-fungus 1drop ..hope it will be ok ...

| Following your advice. But I strongly suspect some internal infection. |

I believe its a tumour. As long as he is swimming and eating fine/behaving fine, you can ignore it. I had a betta that lived with the tumour happily for an year with me. No issues at all with him. I've tried many, but none helped. Hope the instructions from biswanath helps. Wish u and your betta good luck.  |

| Thanks to all of you for the inputs. Unfortunately the betta died the next morning. Later I read in another forum and realized that it was suffering from Hexamite infection, as it was passing white stringy stools (visible in one of the photos). Main reason for this kind of infection is feeding Tubifex worms. |

Its OK Aman. I am still not fully able to keep my bettas live for months.
I had checked for Water, Feeding, Temperature etc. but no clue.
My problem was they eat well, play well but go on getting weaker day by day.
