I agree with Ray 100% on everything he said. Fin rot is usually both bacterial (gram negative AND gram positive both) and fungal infections together, so disinfecting the tank with a bleach water solution will help to ensure that the next fish are safe. Erythromycin can be great to eradicate gram negative bacteria, but will do little to nothing for gram positive bacteria, and it will do nothing for fungus, either. As Ray said, disinfecting the tank is a cheap insurance policy.
