I'm sorry to tell you this but nothing is going to fix those gills at the point. Unfortunately. The fish most likely have too much scar tissue. I wish I could suggest something to help, but they are just really deformed now, They will probably live , but I would not expect great growth and longevity here.

That is the way they were when I first started to treat them with no change. Does that mean that they where actually cured but the gills got burned and that is why they are like that. Thank u that is a shame glad I know not to make the same mistake again

Its really hard to say without seeing the fish when you got them. I do think that the way you were using the PP was damaging the Gills... It may have compounded the issue if the gills were already a problem. Going by these images, If you received fish that looked like that, then I am afraid you really got sub par fish. Healthy quality fish should not have gills and gill plates that are deformed. The Gill plate should cover the gills and lay flat to the side of the head when closed. They also should not flare out.
