Unhappy Red Fin Borleyi

So this morning, we turn on the light and everyone is happily swimming around. A couple hours later, my son notices a tail hanging out of our largest cichlids mouth. We pull the Red Fin out because it was still fighting to get out and immeadiatly put it in the hospital tank. He's torn up pretty bad. His dorsal fin is shredded and he doesn't seem to be using his belly fins at all. He mainly uses his pectoral fins to swim around and uses his tail just a bit. He's gotten most of his color back already (he was almost white) and he kinda swim floats around the tank. I was wondering if there would be any hope for this poor little guy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I've looked to this forum for advice in setting and maintaining my 90 gal tank and everyone was doing great until this happened. We've never had a problem like this thus far.

Thanks,

Cherylyn
