Thanks for reaching out. Fish heal pretty well but depends on the gape in the skin. But the important part is keeping the water as clean as possible, to decrease contamination of the wound. Make sure the nutrition level is high (fresh food). If the wound becomes angry or you notice white fluffy lesions (likely fungus), seek an examination with a veterinarian. If the wound is wide, seek a veterinarian sooner. Good luck.
