Injured fish in TTM

[Spartanman22]

I started TTM on my current fish this week. I'll be moving to a new system next week. I've never had a QT before, but will have one on the new tank. I wanted to run all fish through TTM prior to switching over. In the process of catching a swallowtail he swam into my blue gig. He hopped right out, but it looks like he has an open wound on his right pectoral fin. It also appears as though his streamers have been damaged as they were about and inch long and are now gone.

Is there any medication you guys would recommend to prevent any bacterial infections? He seems to be breathing fairly normal, but has yet to eat since being placed in TTM (three days ago). None of the fish have eaten really so I'm just chalking that up to stress.

The angel is swimming normally and eating as of last night, but I've noticed that the wound it had on its pectoral fin had a fuzzy white growth in it. Would something like erythromycin work well? Are there any issues with dosing that in conjunction with Prime?

What about Prodibio's bacteria and fungi product?

Sounds bacterial or could be lymph since its a angel and they seem to get it easily. Nothing but enriched, varied diet with good water quality will get this to go away. Caused by stress. Fungal issues are usually brown or dark in color, not white

Ok so as long as it's eating well I shouldn't worry about treating with any bacterial medication? I grabbed some melafix just to have on hand. The fuzzy growth seemed to be mostly gone last night. It may have just been a healing response.
