This is very strange,

I have a total of 5 danios, and 2 of them have strange red lumps on their stomachs. I think they are both male, as they have always been way thinner than a few of my other danios. I don't know what they could be from and must have apeared very radily because I check my fish daily and failed to notice anything before tonight. Could these be from worms? I saw little white worms swimming in the water and then my baby guppies ate them about two days ago, but I haven't added any fish since july. I lost only a guppy a few days ago, but she was old, and blind, and was deteriorating since september. Please look at the photos and tell me what you think. I appologize if they don't show up, I haven't added photos to this site before. :p

Thank you!
