It appears that the worm tends to "disappear" and then show up again. This does not kill the fish from what I can tell. The tank is heavily planted and its very hard to count every fish.
I am thinking of treating the tank with levamisole-hydrochloride but since I can't vacuum well due to plants I not sure this is the best option.

Good Day folks,
Take a quick look at the pics. This is one tough species of worm / nematode to get rid of. Has anyone seen something like this before?
Tank has been treated 3 times using @Cory 's schedule and the fritz product that is sold by the co-op (https://www.aquariumcoop.com/collections/fish-medicine/products/fritz-paracleanse?variant=31400602337349).
