theres a ~3.5" emperor angelfish juvenile at my LFS. it has a small scratch near the eye area. will it heal over time?

I think if it's just a scratch and it's not infected, not affecting the fish in any way it should heal like cuts do on us.

Shouldnt be a issue, but i would advise a qt (like always) there are a hardy fish, good luck.
