injured African

Found one of our Africans that had somehow gotten himself stuck in a covered bridge decoration. Had to cut the bridge away from him, he was so entangled. Looks to have at least 3 abrasions where he's rubbed scales off trying to free himself. Any recommendations on how to give him the best shot at survival? He's still breathing somewhat normally, but he tends to go inverted if he stops moving. We've got him in a large net protected from the others in the tank.

How is he doing? If his abrasions don't look bad, I think good clean water and separation from any bullies would be good for him.
