I got two pyramid butterfly fish 5 days ago they are both eating like pigs but in the short trip from picking them up and getting them to the tank one of them i believe suffered some damage to its mouth is this something that will heal on its own? doesn't seem to be getting any worse from the day i got them

i actually read this happens to this fish a lot when in transport

Should heal. Adding melafix to tank should help
