Gills swollen

Is it a growth or the actual Gill? How long has it been there? Is it fluffy? Hard to tell by pic.
It is either a tumour, fungus or Lymphocystis.
There is no cure for a tumour.
Lymphocystis is a stress virus that normally starts on the tail & fins, and not the gills, so this is unlikely.
Fungus is normally white not yellow.

How long have you had the fish for?
How long has the fish had the growth?
Did you add anything to the tank in the 2 weeks before this started?

If you can post a couple more pics showing the fish from the front and back views it will help. Try to get a close up of the growth but from the front as well. It looks like there are red lines feeding the growth and this would indicate a tumour.

I had it for a year, Its mother gave birth from that tank a year before. So it is had been a year since the fish growth. I dont add anything in the tank for 2 weeks. Just clean the side of tank.
Let me take a few more picture and upload it

Sad
A fish can live with lymphocytes though. I have a goldfish that has had it for some time. Sometimes the cysts will pop but usually return. He’s fine otherwise for now.
