Hi, our flowerhorn isn't doing so well. I noticed yesterday he was a little skittish. This morning when I came to his tank I guess I spooked him and he started spinning, flipping, thrashing in a way that looks like he's struggling to stay upright. He did this a couple more times during the water change. Before I started the water change I knocked down part of the glass lid and it struck him and he has a pretty bad gash on his side. Now that he's calmed down he's is upright, resting on the bottom, but still breathing hard. What can I do to help him?
