So got some phantom tetras as schooling fish for my 45 gallon since they are too big to get eaten. My angelfish seemed to try to eat them many many times, so 2 I think have bite marks. I quickly moved the tetras into a 5 gallon quarantine, what should I do, medicine?

I guess angelfish will still go after smaller fish, but yet they won't go after my small algae eaters.
 
I have 7 tetras, 2 are injured for sure, flesh coming off near mouth on one, flesh coming off on tail on another. Sorry for the bad pics.
 
I would add salt and raise the temp and keep an eye out for infection

My 2 injured ones aren’t looking so good now, I did my best taking pictures of their wounds.
