African clawed frog has open wound. Bleeding, help!!?

My sweet African clawed frog swam up to me showing me a open wound next to her eye. I assume it came from one of my platties- they have been living peacefully for 7 months, or from hitting something. But I am freaking out, she bumped something and she started bleeding from it, it formed into a decent size puddle of blood- too much for me :( I read that these wounds r frequent for them, and they are excellent healers. But is there anything I should do ?! Any "medicine I can give to her, isolate her from the fish?! She is acting normal thank god. I'm so sad idk what I can do for her..

    Newts: There might desire to be some extra species for aquariums yet i'm no longer able to make specific. Firebelly newts crawl around the tank regularly, yet they are extremely rapid whilst provoked. specific newts ought to get in part out of the water. you may positioned very massive plastic flowers of their tank which attain all the thank you to the exterior, then they might climb on the uncovered factors. in simple terms get a chew of hardwood from exterior (must be hardwoods, softwoods have nasty resins and junk) and boil it for a protracted time, like an hour, so it quite is wiped sparkling and intensely a number of the tannins bumped off. it quite is going to flow for a protracted time. To look after newts: feed them meaty foodstuff like frozen bloodworms, and that they want a pH of seven.2-7.8. Their water must be under seventy two ranges, in any different case they wil get fungus and could no longer thrive, so this does not male them properly matched with the fish on your tank by way of adaptation in temperature standards. they like a minimum of 10 gallons of water in keeping with newt. i don't comprehend lots approximately clawed frogs.................
