Barbs and goldfish really don't mix very well as you have found out. For one the barbs are tropical and require heated water while the goldfish prefer coldwater setups. With really clean water and frequent water changes your fish may start to grow back his fins. How roughed up is he?

my fantail got attacked by a krayfish in my tank and it was really ragged and nearly dead.It had no fins at all or no tail and could'nt swim.He also had black bruises all over.I left him in hi own tank and hes fine now.His tail and fins are back to normal.You just gota look after to poorly one with extra care.
