Well, it isn't any of the five main fish parasites (Uronema, flukes, ich. Brook or velvet).

It could be an injury, or it could be a bacterial infection. Do you have a treatment tank? If so, you might want to get it ready. If not, then the only option would be to watch it. The things to look for include: rapid breathing, folded fins, lack of appetite and growing size of the lesion.
