this is not a bump but its more info i need to add because he in some kind in vertical position with his tail upwards and his head pointing down i have only had him 1 year and he twitches every now and then
 
I might be wrong but I believe twitching is from nitrite. Add some salt if you even think it could be nitrite. Do that after you do a water change of course. The salt helps them from getting nitrite poisoning. Hope this helps. That twitching is a pretty strong sign to me.
