Went on vacation and came back to my peacock cichlid missing a tail and all fins. He more or less is a slug... I purchased and auto feeder, and although it work, it did not feed as generously as I would have hoped.

He obviously cannot compete for food anymore so I setup a sick tank. He is swimming (slugging?) and eating fine by himself, curious on what products I can put in to help his healing. I have pimafix, can grab almost anything else.
 
If there is no sign of any fin rot or bacterial infection, I would just keep the water extra clean and let him heal up on his own. Fish can generally heal their fish well without help, and they aren't like mammals where you can just put some salve on it. I hope he gets better. :)
