I got this betta from my brother, he won her at college in some event, she’s currently living happily in a 10 gallon planted tank with 2 snails and 7 Pygmy Corys. She had small lumps on her side when I got her that recently started getting progressively bigger over the last several months.
She still is very active curious and sociable and doesn’t seem to be in any pain or have any hindrance to her swimming ability. Shes still very much herself.
I know it’s likely tumors though I’m hoping otherwise. And I know I likely will have to eventually euthanize especially since there is one taking over one entire gill, and when it begins to affect her quality of life I’ll make that choice.
But I guess I’m asking for help diagnosing what this is, and if there is anything else that I can do to provide her extra comfort or care?

I wanted to add she already has Indian almond leaves, mopani wood, Indian almond bark and casuarina cones for tannins
It definitely looks like tumors, though none I’ve seen, I’m so sorry…
Don’t euthanize yet, like you said, if she’s still active and happy let her be happy with you a bit more before she goes to the beautiful lake up high!
Thank you for loving her 💛
