Awww! Poor little guy! I hope he gets well!
 
As long a he can get food he should be good. Just do pwc each day to make sure the water is super clean so fin rot doesn't step in...
 
Can I put him in like a glass vase or it have to be another tank I am willing to change water everyday if needed
 
Leave him in the main. As long as he isnt getting messed with, he should be fine. His tail will grow back
 
I would also suggest adding a antibacterial or something softer like stress coat+
 
Clean water is the best thing. You can add some salt if you really want to but clean water is all you need. Also he has to be eating, otherwise it is unlikely he will survive.
 
Just like everyone else is saying just keep the water clean and make sure it is eating and it should take care of itself pretty quickly.
 
i have an emperor tetra that got his whole tail bitten off and all i did was increase water changes and he survived and grew his tail back. it's not as pretty a tail as he had before and he looked funny swimming around the tank for a while but he is back to normal now.
