Prevailing temperature.  I see no reason to stress the fish with a temperature change.

Update!

He's almost completely healed from a 2" diameter wound where I could see muscle.

I kept him at 76 degrees, fed him sparingly (once every other day), and kept him around 0.3% salinity.  No meds, but I kept a steady stream of Prime (enough to treat the tank volume, daily) in the water and I added some bacterial additives from the LFS.

Yes, most wounds really don't need much in the way of treatment except an environment conducive to healing.  Clean, warm, dark.

 

It's great news he is pretty much back to normal.  Good job!

Now that is how you take care of a wounded fish. Excellent work
