I got him on january 13th this year and he started growing these bumps in april and in the past few months they have just been getting bigger slowly, ive asked about his bumps on here before but didnt really get any answers on what it could be sadly so i would very much appreciate any help on what it could be
Also i updated his tank a few days ago does it look good enough? Its 8 gallons and im getting a few plants soon!!

Otherwise he seems healthy to me and hes very active
I am also experiencing this with a plakat betta I got forever ago. He has a HUGE mass on his side and I’ve assumed it’s a tumor. He still does normal fish things so I’ve just let it be. From what I’ve found, there’s not really a cure. If it keeps him from being a fish, then I suggest a humane way to euthanize:(
1. More plants please yes. He needs much more hiding spots.
2. They are tumors common with pet store bettas. If it’s not inhabiting his QOL he is ok. I had a betta who had one tumor on his side. If it starts effecting his QOL you can look into putting him down (people use blunt force or the clove method at least the last time I researched if)
