Caught a couple of decent sized bluegill to add to my tank. I have had fish die on me before because of bacterial reasons(i believe, It looked like they had fin rot). so this time i am treating them in a hospital tank with maracyn 2 and slowly acclimated them to the water over a day. The smaller one has a wound on its cheek, probably from the hook, which looks kinda of bad.

is there anything else you would suggest?
 
a wound on the cheek shouldn't be too bad, just keep an eye on it. A little non-iodized salt could help, too
