Answer
Hi Amanda,
Poor angel. Water changes are the perfect medicine for helping to heal wounded fins. I would do a few more extra water changes. Angelfish fins can heal on their own quite well as long as they have clean water (to prevent infection) and no more pecking by any other fish.

If it begins to look red or discolored. The fins could be infected. So I, along still with water changes, would add a antibiotic medication. Mardel Brand, Maracyn-two is good. But most antibiotics at your local petstore are effective.

Best of luck and Happy fishkeeping!
