It looks like my Honey Gourami had his tail nipped by one of the harlequin rasboras. After a day and a half, it doesn't look any better (or worse). It's a small half-circle "bite" out of the tip of the tail.

I'll be doing 25% water changes daily. Is there anything else I should be doing?

Edited to add:
He is stressed - clamped fins and he hides in the corners. He still behaves normally at feeding time though.
 
There is nothing more that can be done than your already doing, keep the water pristine and it will heal(this takes more than a couple days).
 
Thanks for your reply, but the poor guy didn't make it. He died yesterday. :(

He obviously had something else wrong - I had him in the tank for about six weeks and he seemed perfectly healthy and normal until just a few days ago. Whatever it was, at least he didn't suffer long.
