Poor or lower than optimal water quality will be one reason for the finrot but aggression and improper diet are also contributors. I would not recommend a QT at this point unless the clown developes a heavy bacterial problem. In most cases, improved water quality, high quality enriched foods and eliminating tankmate aggression should clear it up.
Depending on what you feed primarily now, switching to or adding a vitamin booster will help as well as regular weekly water changes to reduce DOC and other polutants...

Besides improving water quality, I've heard MelaFix will help with fin rot. But that is only if you are going to improve the water, because, as with any other med, it treats the immediate problem. The problem will re-occur if the water quality is at issue.
