Please Help Identifying A Gill Worm

[Flying Saucer]

Three of my fish are infected by a type of worm.

A chocolate gourami who has them around the gills on one side. A ram which has one on his flank and a cardinal tetra that has one near his eye that has developed into a clear bubble with the worm inside.

You can make out the worm on the gourami below.

Can someone please tell me what type of worm it is and whats the best medication/treatment?

I treated the tank with prazi two weeks ago and the worms weren't affected by that. Perhaps Big L would be the go?

Thanks ozarowana, whats the best treatment for them. ive got Prazi and Big L on hand.

A PP bath should make the buggers let go, try a stronger dose though, maybe 10mg/L in a bucket for as long as the fish can take it.

Make sure to rebuild the fish slime coat with salt in the water after you do.
