Thanks Koi-Lo,

I decided to move the two affected fish in a Q-tank afterall. good
thing those two gouramis aren't particularly fast or smart :-P (either
that or they are extremely nearsighted!). seems like all the other
fish isn't showing any obvious signs of the same disease, so... decided
better to keep meds out of the main tank now.

That's a good move. There is no way to know how individual plants will
react to any medication added to the water. I do know Quick-Cure and
Aquari-Sol doesn't harm the plants in my tanks.

I suppose I can put few off-shoots of my ever-overgrowing java ferns in
the Q-tank just to see how it reacts to the meds...

Excellent idea.

just for fun (and
will give the fish some comfort. I added plastic plant, but it's just
not the same, especially when the main tank is a jungle of plants, and
this one has this cheesy plastic plant sort of lonely sitting in the
middle of the tank...)

The fake plants will give the fish comfort and a feeling of security. I
don't think they care if the plants are fake or not. :-)
