Fighting Fish Help

My Maroon Clownfish and Lamarck's Angelfish got into a fight. The clown did some damage to the angel. He seems OK but I'm concerned that he might develop an infections. Should I leave him and hope for the best? I'm thinking about treating him with amoxcil and vitamin C.

Wow those angles are amazing (a buddy has one)

The best you can do is get some selcon to soak its food in and some garlic to boost his appetite and keep an eye on him. Selcon is a food additive you can get at your LFS it's full of vitimes and good stuff

I use selcon every other day, just to keep the fish healthy from the vitamin C, but was thinking of just adding vitamin C 2 a day. I use garlic everyday, and his appetite is good. Feeding 2 a day.

Today my angelfish has been going to my shrimp to get cleaned. Amazing

I'm trying to get a picture of it, but every time I go next to the tank he hides.

He didn't make it.

Sorry to hear that...didn't know a clown could do that much damage

Maroon Clownfish are very aggressive (females are more aggressive) as they get older.
