My fish got stuck under the filter intake when I was changing his water. He now has a cut that bled some. Should I quarantine him from his tank mates and start antibiotics?

No, I wouldn't suggest you treat with anything unless an actual disease becomes apparent. And as the previous poster pointed out, be sure to unplug your filter and heater when doing a water change. Yep, it can still happen, but that does lower the chances.

I don't know about that, but next time if he lives you should unplug your filter when you are cleaning out your water for more reasons than the one you stated above

I'd add a little MelaFix to the tank he's in. It's a natural remedy for fish, good for situations like that.
