Anyone ever seen anything like this before?

I recently took over a maintenance account. One of the tanks at this place is full of these parrot cichlids. For anyone unfamiliar they are what results when someone has too much time on their hands and creates an ugly hybrid by allegedly crossing a red devil with a gold severum. Anyhow, there are about a dozen of these parrots in this tank and everyone is polluted with these worms. I am not a fan of these fish, so my initial reaction was to put all the fish down and sterilize the tank. But, since this is in a convalescent home, they are sensitive to euthanasia issues. I already gave them praziquantel orally without any apparent effect.
