Right now I'm in the process repairing my tank and have my inhabitants in a 30 gal Rubbermaid for another few days. I've got a skimmer running in there and everything seems to be ok. I however noticed that my 4 line wrasse has a huge chunk taken out of his side. I can get him out If I need to and I could throw him in the sump of my other tank. I am wondering what everyone thinks I should do and what I should do to treat his wound. I can't really throw iodine in the Rubbermaid because I need the bacteria that is working to keep nitrates and ammonia down in there.
Help with injured fish

Ouch, sorry T. No idea how to help though, not sure how well a fish will heal from a chunk.
My cichlids used to have gang fights leading to pretty bad wounds. Only thing that helped was a clean environment to rest and heal up. Tried some of the fresh water stuff like pimafix I tjonk its called didnt seem to do much aside from make my hosp tank smell like vapo rub.
Seperation, safety, and good food did help my brichardi survive a fin gettin ripped off and some face wounds.
