Saw a betta with a growth on its side...

Saw a betta with a growth on its side... It looks like a round ball like shaped thing. Maybe 2-3mm in diameter. Anyone know what it is.

Maybe I should do one last rescue. Eight is a nice round number.

Found this discussion in another forum. Sounds grim.

One of my boys (Rom) has a small mole looking growth beside his Dorsal fin. He's had it for 2 months and the size has not increased and doesn't seem to bother him in the slightest...I'm guessing it's not serious.

I think before you get upset you should observe the growth for a while...it could be just that..a mole or something similar.

Well, maybe best I buy the fish and give it a good home, whether it is serious or not, would be nice to get him out of his cup.
