WTF!..so I bought two ocell's last night.
just a bit bigger than my orino. then this morning
when i woke up and checked my tank, my orino
and one of the ocell that's just about the size of my orino
are beat up. scales are off and it's just gnarly to look
at. I feel bad for these lil guys. i went back to the shop
and returned the bigger ocell. (mean lil f*****)
now, what can i use (if any) that will make the recovery
a bit faster. I dont want these fish to die. I added a bit of
salt already.

also, what are those assorted plants that's usually seen
here? I want the specific name of that plant so i can get
some tomorrow.

I doubt it will die, it's not uncommon either. Some people will recommend this or that for faster healing, but the truth is, it's snake oil at best. The fish's own slime coat will protect the area. Just give it some time, it should heal in no time. That plant is a "Fancy Plants Giants" bamboo plant. If I remember correctly, they are around 36" long.

Dam... whens the last time you did a water change?
do a water change and add some salt and higher the temp a little bit..
high temp and salt always sped up healing for fins/scales/ich/etc
