I would put it in any way because the longer you wait the worse it gets. I can identify whats wrong if you can post a pic.

Sounds like fin rot. Cause being, it sounds like you're cycling a tank with angels?

We need more info on your tank.
Size
how long since cycle finished
test results for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and ph
how often for water changes and gravel vacs
filter maintenance
how many fish, types and sizes.

Finrot is bacterial so you need anti bacterial meds. Why do you need to restart the cycle?

That could help also, but I am 98% sure it is fin and tail rot or it is some wierd form of ick.
