Tiny cut?

[prince]

Hey there! It's me again.
So about ten minutes ago I was cleaning up Secret Wizard's tank after I noticed I had missed a few bloodworms earlier today. I accidentally tapped her and gave her a bit of a fright, and she swam very quickly into an artificial plant I had in the tank. Here's a pic I took immediately after:

It's right there on her tail. I took out the plant since I don't want that to happen again! Now she seems to be swimming more? Maybe a tiny bit frantically? (She usually doesn't swim a lot in general, but this seems kind of distressed?) I'm sure she's just hurting... But what I wanted to know is if there's any way I can make healing easier on her? I don't THINK it's a big concern, but is there any way I can avoid infection, besides keeping the water parameters in check?

She'll be fine, minor cuts are common and heal quickly. You might want to add an indian almond leaf to her tank as a preventative, but other than that you don't need to do anything except keep the water clean and feed her.
