Dropsy???



I know this is not plant related but I can't seem to join the freshwater 
aquaria group...please understand.

One of my neon tetras is very bloated and has a huge tumor-like growth a 
little larger than the size of his eye protruding out on the side under his 
dorsal fin. The bloating looks like dropsy. What is the big tumor-like 
growth???. He's in obvious pain and seems to be barely hanging on. I've read 
that little can be done once the disease gets to this point but if anyone has 
any advice I'd appreciate it very much. I've had this fish for a very long 
time now and I'm quite fond of him.

I've been bedridden myself for the last week so I never noticed his condition 
til just now.
