I have in my tank, 2 angelfish, 1 pearl gourami and 1 dwarf gourami, 2 small clown catfish and 1 orange sailfin.
One of my angelfish is being bullied and most of it's right pectoral fin has been torn/bitten away. Its anal fin is also browning and looks torn. I have treated the tank for finrot, to no avail. This has happened quite suddenly, and after observation, I have only seen the dwarf gourami nibbling at the dangling remains of the fin. Is it the gouramis that are bullying my angel?
If so, is it possible to divide the tank with the gouramis on their own, and how much space would you allow for the gouramis, they are both quite small.
 
The brown isn't fluffy at all, it looks like the fin is dying because of the rips. I have no pictures, but i'll attach an illustration.

You will need a bacterial med then, just keep an eye on signs of flicking and rubbing, good luck.
