Treat it with a 2ppm+ concentration of levamisole hydrochloride, a common pig and poultry wormer.
If you search the Disease and Health forum or google camalanus + levamisole you should be able to find some good information.

parasites are millions of different things.i am talking about a Camellanus Worms very common in discus and angels.now i think it spread into my rays.this is why i need to get rid of them.
You should be able to find a pig or poultry wormer containing levamisole hydrochloride in an online pet or livestock supply store. I can find loads of different ones in online stores in Australia.
I use the Levasole sheep bolus but I read that the product had been discontinued. It used to be really easy to get from farm supply places here in the States.
If you are battling nematodes, then you need flubendazole or fenbendazole as another option if levamisole hydrochloride is difficult to get. Praziquantel will not really kill the nematodes.
