can you get us a pic? what else is in with him?
the tank isnt cycled yet so once you get ammonia, make sure you start water changes every day with some prime once you do...your tank will take a few weeks to cycle with fish so keep a close eye on things so you dont loose any fish...

I see the lump at the base of his tale. Does he have another spot on his back too? If you have more neons do they have the same symptoms?
