Rosy Barb Wounded

I have a rosy barb that has a little chunk of it's back missing, what
can I do to help heal this?

Thanks

Brian

I have Gouramuis, Neons, Zebra and Giant Danio.

You can help by figuring out what caused it, as well as treating the wound.
Fish can heal up pretty well on their own. I'd watch for secondary bacterial
infections, and or fungus on the wound.
Adding a water conditioner with aloe, such as StressCoat may help.
Also, Melafix may help in the healing process too.
What other tank mates are in with this fish?

I have blue, pearl and gold.

What type of Gourami is it?
