fish with swelling (not dropsy)

What I would do is get my razor blade out (or a sharp exacto knife) and
open them up (welcome to the world of forensic science).

I did that, but I waited too long. I kept the dead fish in the fridge
for 2 days before doing the post-mortem. Every thing inside was more
or less mush. The only thing I positively recognized was the
swimbladder.

Did you lose
any other fish (common method of transmission is through ingestion).

Not so far. As you can read in my answer to your message on books,
even the SAE seems to be better, but I discovered Camallanus worms and
I am treating for it with foods soaked in Discomed.

You
might need to brush up on making medicated foods

What is even harder than making the medicated foods, in my opinion, is
to make the fish eat them! Apart from the golden wonder killies who
gobble up anything I put in front of them, the other fishes turned up
their noses at the Discomed-soaked bloodworms at first. This morning,
the danios and the rasboras started to waver and to go for it. I hope
the rest will eventually get hungry enough to change their minds.

Perhaps you have a good recipe for medicated-food-no-fish-can-resist
to share...

You can bet that as soon as I have one, I will share it here. In the
meantime, perhaps someone over at http://www.aquameds.com might have some
recipe ideas.
