My betta is having lumps on his body

[nttrrss]

Hi I am new to this forum but I am desperate for any advice possible on my little guy. I have had Sushi for almost a year and the past few months he has developed lumps and bumps on his body seemingly with no cause. They are white and sometimes flesh colored. He is a sensitive guy so I try not to over load him with meds. I just keep his tank clean and feed him and talk to him daily. He eats and swims but he is sticking to the bottom of the tank more than I like these days. Like I said any advice is welcome...I read it could be lymphocytis I’m just not sure where to go from here.

Could be possibly a tumor, but I'll leave this to @Colin_T and other members. So sorry to hear about Sushi, my betta, Candy, is currently fighting dropsy.

It's not lymphocystis.

it could be anything including poor genetics or old age.

I tried treating it using Melafix...did not seem to do much. I really try not to use medication but I’m wondering if I should use a fungal. While I’m revived to hear it’s not lymph I was kind of hoping to gain a little more insight coming to a fish forum and all...thanks anyways...
