It sounds like your fish may have a parasitic infection that is causing a secondary bacterial infection. I am interested to know all of your parameters exactly, including phosphate, salinity & nitrate amongst the others.
Do you have a hospital tank available? I dont recommend treating with antibiotics in a main tank, even if it is a FO.
The difference between gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria is the thickness of the cell wall, and most times lack of a cell wall.
Most bacterial infections that affect fish are gram-negative. Maracyn(Erythromycin) treats mostly gram-positive bacteria, I dont recommend it often for this reason. However it can be combined with some other meds if they dont seem to be helping on their own.
Maracyn2 will treat gram-neg infections and that is what I would start with. I would also lower the temp to 77 and try to keep it there. The salinity lowered to about 1.020 will help as well.
