Answer
Hi Chris
I just came across your question in our answer pool, so sorry for the delay it just showed up on here today.

If it's not too late.....MelaFix or PimaFix are natural remedies.  MelaFix is a great antibacterial remedy for fight injuries, or other injuries like that.  It's completely safe for all fish, plants, etc.  and won't harm the beneficial bacteria in the tank.  It also helps them heal as well as prevent bacterial infections.  Even if it is too late, I'd still pick some up, good stuff to have on hand for times like that.  Local pet store should sell them.  PimaFix is good for bacterial and fungal infections, MelaFix is more of a wound/injury  healer.  Also keep the water quality good.
