My 8" Jardini was attacked by my Gator Gar. I've sold the Gar but my Jardini has been laboring and not eating. Is there any thing I can use to help heel his wounds?

Melafix and water changes is what I have always heard.
 
He's not eating cuz the stress, only time and patience will make him normal again, may take weeks, just keep water perfect and let him rest!!!! Go

Ok I have Melafix on hand how often should I do water changes and will the Melafix have any adverse effect on the Jardini tank mates?

The Melafix shouldn't adversely affect any tank mates. Consider it as a general tonic!!! Kind of like using acquarium salts (only better).
 
IMO it will probs leave a scar. I have a jardini about the same size he got attacked when he was young and it has heeled up but there is a scar (scales missing and aren't growing back)
