Longnose Butterfly

[alexwolf]

I got a longnose butterfly ina shipment, but the first 1/4" of his bottom lip/jaw is broken. Its pointing down at 45 degrees. He is eating well, will this heal?

As long as the fish is eating and doesn't get some sort of infection from it, I would think he will be just fine. Whether or not the jaw will heal/straighten out is up to the fish and mother nature.

yeah, I know they are very delicate, especuially with that long beak. So, I shouldnt try and straighten it out? :o
