Two Dead Fish. Should I medicate?

I have two dead guppies. They have died of what appears to be fin rot. I don't know if this is from the ghost shrimp nibbling on them. I have two other guppies, 5 swordtails, and 1 gourmi in the tank. I'm wondering if I should medicate to be safe. I'd like to move one of the swords this week if it is safe?

if not sure of the problem, would not want to spread whatever it may be to other tanks.
Monitor the water and fish's behavior. I have learned quite a bit from running Cam on the tank when I am not there since fishes sometimes behave differently when you approach the tank (Stimulus: food; Psy 101, Pavlov's Conditioning Process).

I would give them medicated anti-bacterial food just to prevent any major outbreak. I have learned the hard way than when a fish dies it is better to do something about it rather than ignoring an undergoing problem.
