Hyposalinity is a great treatment for certain problems but it is by no means a "cure all". Hypo may sometimes alleviate/mask certain symptoms giving the appearance it's helping but will not really affect a cure.
So far from what I can tell, the problem was stress related. Especially if there are no other fish exhibiting symptoms of any kind. Leave the fish as it is for the next little while and get it back up to proper strength/health. Once it looks like it has fattened up and healthy, raise the salinity and monitor for an additional two weeks. If all looks good, transfer back to the main. If the fish does not improve or additional symptoms appear, post back immediately. Be sure to include tank parameters and detailed treatment process/maintenance.
Pay special attention to water quality, alk/pH and food nutrition during the QT stay.
Cheers
