Guys....If you really think it's Camallanus there is a web site that has the
best article I've seen about the condition and some practical aquarium
solutions to the condition..........here you go:

last post). It's a very frustrating disease and it's hard to say for sure
where it came from in any particular case. The live bloodworms MAY be the
source although fish seem to spread it to each other quite well. I've seen
it in some killifish lately and I haven't the foggiest idea where they
picked it up. I'm afraid it can remain resident in the fish for quite a
while before detection. The archives of thekrib has a lot of postings on
this. You should look into the Levamisole as it is highly recommended.
Piperazine (a common dog wormer) has also been used with apparent success
although some people have been disappointed in their results.
