Keith,

How are your fish doing?

Kieth;
    My opinion:
    Make sure they have a moderate amount of salt in their water (maybe
a little more than what you normal use for this species) to help prevent
osmotic shock from skin loss. 
    Add Methylene Blue to help prevent fungusing.
    Keep aeration high.
    Wait.
    Some people like to add a "slime coat" product but I'm not impresses
with the results obtained with that. Likewise many like to use Melafix,
in case that helps. I DO like to add vitamins (a human-type
multivitamin) to the water in hopes of speeding cell regrowth.
