My betta Sushi has developed a bubble like growth on the right side of his dorsal fin and has been there for about 2 weeks now. It hasn't really grown at all since I first noticed it. He doesn't seem bothered by it but I don't know if he is sick or if it is just a build up of cells on his fin. Could anyone tell me what this mysterious growth is? Thank you!
