I would like some help on administering an antibiotic medicine to my tank.

It's in the betta/gourami forum -- all of the details (ie, red spots, behavior, swelling) -- and I've done some reading. It looks like it might be something called "Aeromonas hydrophila".

Anyway, can you please help? I don't mind going out to get a 10g hospital tank to quarantine my gourami(s) but it looks like I might have to treat the WHOLE tank and ALL of the fish.

Here's a link to the disease I'm talking about:

Can you help? I'm still a newbie, so your help would be wonderful. It's one thing to read a lot on the web (which I do), but your personal advice would be great.

Which are the best meds? Dosage? Temp? Quarantining? Diet during treatment? I feel lost.
