Just some melafix just to make sure the wounds don't get infected.
Make sure he swim ok that he hasn't damaged his swim bladder.

If using Melafix you should use a smaller dosage than what is printed on the label when treating labyrinth fish. From what I've read the Melaleuca inhibits the labyrinth organ on these fish.

I know I have bettas and gouramis both need lower doses
