I just picked up a 4-5" flowerhorn and its pretty beat up. Some other African Cichlids were nipping at it and now it has missing scales, fins nipped, mouth is all swollen.

What kind of procedures would be recommendes to fix her?

put him in a hospital tank do lots of water changes to keep the water quality up and maybe add some salt
 
I have a zebra with damaged fins and I just left him in my community tank. The fish picked on him for a while but he has adapted by finding very good hiding places and the other fish have seemed to have lost interest in picking on him after about a week. I find putting an african cichlid in a hospital tank puts them in more danger by reintroducing to the community. Any time you are putting a new fish in a tank the other africans will give it a hard time.
