The biggest problem with most health issues in fish is without having a necropsy performed, and putting samples under a microscope, it can sometimes be next to impossible to know with any certainty what the correct action should be.

When I looked at your GT, it appears to be shedding the lining of its intestinal tract, which generally is caused from internal parasites of one form or another. Typically it will be caused from spironucleus vortens, which the 3% epsom salt soaked pellets should successfully eradicate within a few days. But, that's just a guess, and may or may not work in this case. So far I'd say you have been lucky as your fish are all still eating, which is definitely a good sign, and definitely makes treatment easier.

Good luck, and keep us posted.
 
Ya all my fish are eating except for my GT. I put the jungle labs parasite clear in my tanks
In one tank my water us still clear, but in my 125 gallon has some hazy water as if there is a bacteria bloom. Its new and it just got done being cycled tho. Do you think its because of the meds?
 
This is day 3 of the espom salt soaked pellets and the jungle labs parasite clear. It seems to not work on my Green Terror that is by himself in a 20 gallon, as I can't get him to eat. My other fish in the 55 gallon and the 125 still eat and act normal as they always have, but most of their bellies are still sunken. If this treatment is working, how long will it take for the fish to get their sunken bellies back to normal?
 
See my previous post ...... no one can answer your question with any real accuracy as no one knows exactly what the issue is, or how far gone the fish are at this point. They might recover over the next few days, weeks, or not at all. Probably not exactly what you wanted to hear, but that's it in a nutshell.
