Potential disease, advice needed

Hello friends, I am new to this forum and I come seeking advise.

I am worried about my new male apistogramma cacatuoides I recently bought. He has been doing good. Feeding frozen foods from hakari and northfins pellets. He's eating well for the last few weeks, but I noticed this week a swollen bump in the anal/vent area appeared.

I am unsure if this could be worms of some sort and how to threat it ?

I know he has recently fertilized the eggs of a female because ,I saw female guarding wigglers. Could that be a cause ?

Here are some pictures. Thanks for the help.
