Hi i am no expert here but maybe i can help .
I cant really tell from the pics what the sickness is but it sounds like both bacterial & fungal so what i usually do is use Maroxy By Mardel as specified along with salt approx 4 teaspoons for an entire 55g tank which is what i have i must note that you should do a water change of about 30% i usually do 50%.
please note if you are sceptial dont do it i would not like for you to loose any more fish on my account i know how we get attached to our friends.
Regards.
oh make shure the tank is well aerated! ! ! ! ! !

I use tetracycline for fin rot with good results everytime on my angels, make sure it is compatible with cichilids.
What many percieve as a fungal infection is most often a bacterial disease.
Actuall fungus on fish is really quite rare.
Salt as a medication is fine, however, it interferes with many other medications effectiveness, I never recomend using it in conjunction with other meds.
