Certainly it would be best to start treatment ASAP, but you may stress him/her more trying to catch him/her and adding it to a tank that is poorly cycled than leaving him for another 2-3 days. While I am not positive garlic will help, fresh garlic 'jiuce' on his food along with a vitamin supplement like Selcon , Zoe, or VitaChem can't hurt.
I very much agree here. Keep the fish as healthy as possible and wait a few days on the qt. Hopefully it will finish the cycle.
