Gills swollen

Can somebody please tell me what is this and how to treat it?

Thank you

Is it a growth or the actual Gill? How long has it been there? Is it fluffy? Hard to tell by pic.

Hi and welcome to the forum

Can you post some more pictures, side view please?

How long has the tank been set up for?
How long have you had the fish?
How long has the fish had the yellow lumps?

Does the new picture help?

Tank has been set up for a year. Water has been test and normal. A few days before, I made a mistake by pouring to much of food. So i am currently letting my fish fasting right now

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

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.

I have 1 last question, if it a tumor, does it is contiguous?
