Answer
Hello Lewis,

Oh wow, that looks pretty bad.  Did he gash it on a log?
What type of objects do you have in the tank with him?

That could get infected as an open wound.  Can you get him to the vets for treatment?  It might be a good idea to get it wrapped up to keep dirt/debris out of the wound.

Let me know how he is doing.
