He eats like a pig still and he’s acting normal. The bump recently got bigger

I think you should move this to the fish-disease forum - this forum is for 'experiments'. No offense. I will ask @Daniel@R2R to move it to the correct place.

I can't see in the pictures if this involves the anus, or if it is off to one side. If it involves the anus, it is likely a prolapse. If it is off to one side, it is more likely a tumor. Sorry, but either way, there really isn't anything that can be done for it - fish surgery for home aquarists just isn't a thing.

Yeah he ended up passing away, it looked like he kept scratching it off and it eventually was completely off, but it looked like he had a open wound.

It was right above his anus. More like his belly
