Just noticed this lump on the side of my betta, I checked him a few days ago and didn't notice anything so I think its come up in the last couple days. Any ideas what it could be and if I should be doing anything now before it possibly gets worse?

He's on hikari bio gold and vibra, frozen food (bloodworm and brine shrimp) occasionally for a treat but he prefers the pellets. He didn't eat yesterday but i think thats because he was annoyed that I gave the shrimplets more hiding space during the water change and he's always chasing them.

Planted/heated/cannister filter 20g with cherry shrimps, water was checked a few days ago Ammonia/nitrite 0s, nitrate wasnt too high but I was about to do a water change anyway.
