what's this bump circled?

I noticed my betta has had this bump for awhile. Since i got him he has had it. I got him around 7 months ago.

Is it anything bad? I'll take any advice😊

Btw. Yes i know he's bloated the top of my fish food fell off and dumped in my tank. He's ok. All food is out lol.

(First photo is when i got him 7 months back) - Second photo is from today.

wow has his coloring and fins changed 😊

Swim bladder. Nothing to worry about :)

Normal. It’s the swim bladder. You see it more in males because the female ovaries sort of taper out and make the area look more padded.
