Answer
Hi John;
Fish have an amazing ability to heal. Just keep his water clean and he should do just fine. You can change 25% of the water daily for a few days to help boost his immune system and lower the bacteria count in the water. If he starts to develop white fuzzy growth or redness on the wounds he may need medication. Your fish store should have something that would treat that.
At Your Service;
Chris Robbins
