Just had my bullrout jump over my tank divider and cut up his top fin and a few other scrapes, i've only got pimafix or will it heal by itself over time with regular water changes ?

Depends on the injury to the fin... Take a pic for us

Keep the water clean and you probably don't need chems. Pimafix certainly wouldn't hurt under the circumstances though I'm pretty dubious about the benefits of it.

Split fins and general abrasions will generally heal on their own given time and clean water. Fish are pretty tough.
