Water changes every day, I would start feeding medicated food just to avoid any infection. Keep him/her in a tank by himself so no other fish are picking at the injury. Make sure you have no decorations that he could get injured even further. Put a silk or live floating plant in the q-tank so he is more comfortable. I have seen so many tanks with decorations that are just accidents waiting to happen. Caves with openings that are too small can injure telescope or bubble eyes, oranda wens, you get the picture. Sharp objects to get those long flowing tails caught on. All no no's in golfish tanks. You pretty much have to baby proof them. If your q-tank is not cycled you will have to keep a close eye on the water perams. very important! If you can get some Polyaqua by Kordon it will help with healing. Good luck to you and please keep us posted Maira |
