IME the antibiotic treatment wasn't necessary. This is a very common thing to find in dwarf angels and I'm going to guess you have another dwarf angel. When they fight they often hit the eyes.

Discontinue the antibiotic and add some kind of filtration to the QT like a hang on filter with some rock rubble in it. It will usually clear up on it's own.

I've quarantined fish in hyposaline conditions before (1.016 salinity). That's another option. Much safer than medication and no worry about killing off biological filtraiton. You can bring salinity down from 1.023 to 1.016 in 12 hours but to bring it back up to 1.023 you have to spend 3-4 days.
