How* to heal a really beat up fish?

Well today I received some fish that I ordered and two of them came on the same bag. One of the fishes got really beat up by the other one and had the fins all nipped up and scales missing and it's kinda on his side. I donot have a hospital tank or nothing like that setup yet. The fish is about v2-2.5 inches.

What can I do to help it ? so hopefully it can make it because right now it looks like he is about to die. I have it in a small floating nursery that I had for my guppies and mollies.
 
Add salt, do plenty of w/c's. Keep the light off as to not stress it out since you just shipped it in. Try to mess with it as little as possible, don't let any other fish mess with it and TLC always helps. Good luck.
