You may want to try Flubendazole. You can find info on it here
http://www.inkmkr.com/Fish/FlubendazoleTreatment.pdf
The key paragraph there is this one:
The hydra-killing Flubendazole that I used in my office aquarium to eradicate hydra led
me to a larger realization. The “wasting” fish in that tank seemed to become cured when I added
Flubendazole to the water. Whoa! This was quite a remarkable revelation. My intent was to
remove the hydra and any possible nematodes and, to my surprise, the disease I have found to be
associated with a particular protozoan species was cured.
There is more info on the site and Dr. Harrison sells some good medications including levamisole HCL and Fludendazole (I have both in my fish med kit). The main site is
