What is the temp in your tank. Haits prefer high 80sF. (I kept my hait tank between 85-90'F)
Water temps in Hispaniola, where they are endemic are often in the 90sF
Find the article "Oh Island in the Sun, Hispaniola" on cichlidae.com
Was it previously in a community tank? Haits are not community fish.
Haits hate any tankmate they can't kill, and if they can't kill it/them, they succumb to stress related bloat.
This condition is usually brought on, when stress triggers normally benign bacteria become out of control and pathogenic.
Does your hospital tank have any places to hide? Haits are also very sensitive to outside activity stress, especially with that glass bottom, it should have somewhere to get out of sight.

Fish isnt eating so trying to feed boiled and skinned peas probably isnt going to do anything. Boiled peas has not worked for me more times then its ever worked. Aquarium salt is not the universal answer to an interal parasite or worm. Certain types of worms will not be effected by regualr aquarium salt. This is why the epsom salts are used as a laxative to help pass. Certain worms ive found resist some drugs like Metrodianazole. There for other drugs like Praziquantel
or Fenbendazole are used. If a fish is not eating using Clout is one of the best options ive seen help.

Oh sorry, didn't catch that he wasn't eating, to the op, good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor
