My frontosa's just bit my Jurunese catfish and he is roughed up quit a bit with torn fins and such. He is now stressed,not moving and breathing heavy. I put him in the 10 Gallon in a breeder net as I have a few minnows in the tank. I treated it with aquaplus and some salt. Any other suggestions out there as I haven't had this kind of catfish before and treating him for anything is new to me. He is only about 4.5 inches long.
 
What are the water parameters there right now? You risk infecting him with pathogens from the minnows. You'll need another tank IMO for that fish until it recovers. Add more hiding places in the main tank if your frontosa is bullying its tankmates. What size is the main tank and what fish are in it?
