A nice size (about an inch long, females Camallanus cotti)
These adult females produce dozens of microfilaria a day. Everything in the tank is infested
in a matter of days.
@PSNjizzcake I will use your video as an example of what fish keepers should look for to see their fish are infested with Camallanus Nematodes. The long string following the guppy is the mucus produced by the inflamed intestine of the infested fish. The real problem is the small red protrusion from the fish's anus. One can see them in the last few moments of the video. Those are female Camallanus Nematodes that are causing the irritation. Likely all the fish in the tank were infested and sooner or later would have died.
Levamisole is the only cure.
