I have three african cichlids, and one of them gets picked on by another. So now his fins are all torn up, and he is getting a yellowish-gold tint to his fins along with much of the rest of his body...What is the issue???

How big is your tank/fish?

Make sure that they all have their own caves and hiding places in seperate areas of the tank so they can stake their own 'territory'. You should even give an extra one or two so they have some choice. If your fish can hide when he's harrassed, you might have less problems.

if it looks fuzzy, he might have a fungus infection from all of the picking from others.

I'm not big on cichlids, so that's the best advice I can give you. :/ sorry
