Large Angel Fish with early stage of fin rot and isnt feeding

[bain19]

How do I make this fish eat, currently feeding it Aqueon Tropical flakes  ?
This fish is currently in QT
Water temp is at about 78F
and I am currently dosing the tank with Pimafix for the rot.
Fish seems to hide less when the aquarium lights are off so the tank is only being lit with ambient room light.

I use a garlic solution to stimulate the appetite...I bought a big bottle for 10 at my LFS.

hey guys just back from a 6 day business trip.

This fish is on deaths door, my gf was taking care of it for the last week.
Fin rot has completed eaten an entire pectoral fin. Cloudy splotchs on the body and a couple of spots where the scales are lifted up and white coming out from under the lifted scales.

Fish is still moving around but very laboured, fish seems to have trouble staying level(wants to float face up in the tank).

Should i just give up on this ?

Time for a burial at sea ?

I would quarantine him immediately and research fin rot treatments.  I believe the fish stores are open at 10 or 11 for any medication you may require...I can lend you a 30 g tank if you dont have a hospital tank.
