    Hi
    240 litre tank. Approximately 25-30 cichlids some up to 2 years old. generally all good except this one . Looks like his tail fin and top fin is being eaten away ( although I cant ever see any attacking for the other cichlids ). I've tried White spot to no avail. PH 7.6. Nitrate, Nitrite and ammonia bang on. Now trying eSHA 2000 fungus and finrot treatment. Not sure if that working either. Any advice greatly appreciated.

    stress is normally the cause of things like that. If you can try isolate the fish and allow him to recover. Africans can be very aggressive and can kill other fish quite quickly.

    You could rearrange the tank to reset the territorial stakes the fish have made.
