Need Help With Sick Clown

[iflyprops]

Two nights ago I noticed one of my no stripe clowns had what looked a little like ick. I decided to keep an eye on it but by morning it took a turn for the worst, I quarantined it but it was too late. Now the other no-stripe clown is in quarantine, it started as a precaution. She looks fine, is eating, but is staying in the same spot in the tank and has begun to breathe rapidly. She had a freshwater dip two days ago with formalin and I started soaking all her food in garlic yesterday morning and started soaking it in Kent Zoe today. I am out of ideas. What can/should I do??

Thanks
Adam

Formalin baths should be administered at the same salinity as your main /(QT) tank

FWD might follow.

Did you sterilize the QT?

Yes, the QT was sterilized with a very mild bleach wash, and then rinsed very well. I think I may try at FW dip, anyone with other ideas?
