hes going to pout for a while after that ordeal make sure your water quality is kept up.if your using carbons remove them from the tank and dose with melafix this will help reduce stress and help heal his wounds.he may have a chance depending on sevarity if his injuries

I set up a hospital tank over the past couple hours put him in there and dosed with pimafix idont have any melafix in the house tomorrow will be the soonest that ill be able to get any i would guess that this is good news when i was catching him to put him in quarantine he had a little puffed moment trying to keep me away so maybe thats a good sign guess we'll just play the waiting game thanks for the advise i hope it works
