Yes send a picture. What are your test results for pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate? Use a kit with test tubes and liquid regeants, not strips.
You already treated the tank for cotton wool disease? You can't mix medications. I have never seen cotton wool disease with something hanging off the eye.
Epsom salts is for constipation, skip that. Skip the Melafix.

My tanks 300l it's 120cm long 50cm wide,t0cm deep,I've had them all for a year ,I know the ones that can chase others but not really seen this kind of aggression.
I do so many water changes sometimes twice or 3x per wk...I never take it all and with my sponged from my filter I always just swirl them in the water I've take out aquarium.....I have 2 filters and I keep thinking are they working right...can I do a 50%water change and add the aquarium salt?
Did you add medication for cotton wool disease as mentioned earlier? If yes I would not add salt or anything.

For injuries (which can happen when a fleeing fish bumps into a rock) usually isolation and clean water (low nitrates) work best. If your fish are used to weekly 50% water changes, that is a good start, but don't do 50% if they are used to 20% for example.
You will want to know your nitrates before you change any water, and then after as well.

Hi ,thanks for your replies,I did put some anti fungus and fin rot treatment in yest not long after I noticed it...so I use the straps to test so PH is 7.6.nitrate is 5ppm nitrite is 0 ppm..total hardness is 150ppm chlorine is 0 ppm carbonates 180ppm..can't see ammonia.. this one I got is new..I've not noticed no ammonia.
are the ones with a test tube better..I only had the cichlids a year up to the eye injury there not been any..they have seemed happy and are really growing..I really need some advice on the testing..and food..x
