ADF has bump on chest, maybe swallowed a piece of gravel. Will he live? What should I do?

2 ADF’s, 1 betta and a few algae eating shrimp in a 5 gallon filtered tank.
50% water changes weekly, no nitrites or ammonia, 15ppm nitrates.
They are fed once a day, live blackworms, except when there are frog eggs present. Once a week treat of frozen brine shrimp.
He is active and moves around, but this bump is a little bigger than the bumps under his arms. I noticed it last night.
If it turns out to be a bit of gravel, is there anything I can do?
I’ll be monitoring this question, so if you need any more info, just ask.
No, I’m not sure it’s gravel. I’m just trying to gather info on anything it could possibly be.
I don’t see how gravel could be digested, and the thought of a tumor has occurred to me.
I know there’s nothing I can do about a tumor, just wondering if I could do anything if it is gravel, or how I could tell.

help! My frog is emaciated?

I have a juvenile ADF and he is so skinny. I can see the bones well in his legs, midsection, and head. I have been feeding the frogs brine shrimp and frog and tadpole bites. If I offer bloodworms to him will he likely eat it? I read that they arent that nutritious, only 6% protein so I didnt buy any.

Betta Breeders, please give me some help + advice?

After my final exams are over, I’m gonna dedicate my summer for my dear bettas. I have 2 male and one female (live with a ADF) (I love them so much!!). I really want to breed some of these beautiful fish and I would like to be successful. I have tried before but it was a failure, cause I didn’t condition them well enough (I think…).

I’m not sure if I’m doing the right things heres what I’ve dun:

I’ve been giving them good food all the time, and lately I’ve just increased the amount of food I’ve given them (the breeding pair) for about 2-3 weeks. I feed them a variety of food (all dried frozen cause my mom is not willing to put worms in the freezer…=.=) brine shrimp, bloodworms, HBH betta bites and some flakes

My male has always been building nests all over his tank + my female has her white tube showing under her body.

One thing I’m confused is, is my female suppose to be fat from food or fat from eggs? How do I tell the difference? How do I know if my female is ready?
I really appreciate any advice and help given. I really want to make this work.
THX~!
Oh and my female is kinda light bodied…its hard to tell the strips thing. Also my bettas are all seperate except my female lives with an african dwarf frog.
