my variagated shark-labeo variagetus has just been swallowd by a cichlid and spat back out (thxz to my quick thinking) but now it had a hole in its side and is not moving very well .What can i do?
 
I would try to put the injured fish in a QT tank, and give him some antibiotics, so the hole in his side won't get infected. Also in the QT tank, he can rest, away from the other fish harrassing him, if he can't move well. Hopefully an antibiotic and some quiet time will let him heal.
