Just keep treating the tank according to the directions. It is not terribly uncommon to have new fish carry disease. Many of us quarantine our new fish for about 2 weeks in a quarantine tank to make sure they are healthy before introducing them to their permanent home.

stupid question, but do you have a heater? if so crank it up a extra notch and continue with the treatment. if you dont have a heater, thats the problem (unless your house is warm in summer where you can flick it off)
