Sound like Flavobacterium Columnaris.
Methylene Blue would be my first response as it is a gram negative bacteria. Oxytetracyline may have some effect also.

Hello Eejay,
If you decide to try methylene blue as a treatment, I suggest that you do so in a bare tank, as this chemical is usually destuctive to living plants, and will also tend to knock out nitrifying bacteria in filtation systems, with subsequent rise in ammonia/nitrite levels. Just do not feed any fishes in a bare tank for the duration of treatment with methylene blue.
If you have the wherewithall, I would like to see a photo of the affected fish.
Syd.
