First off sorry for the double posting, i Have a similar thread running. I just want to confirm the diagnoses

I had a few mixed sex guppies a while ago in my tank for around 6 weeks, They gave birth multiple times,So i moved the adults on to a good friend of mine (Not so much after this?) & kept back some of the fry for my growout tank.
My friend said he saw some red worms sticking out of a Guppy Moms butt & was starting a treatment, But before he did the fish died.
So in my main 30G tank there are 4 Bronze Corydoras, Who started acting strangely by flicking,rubbing & flexing quite weirdly. They just seemed irratated by something, Immediately i did a water change & monitored the stats, I got my camera out & zoomed in & saw a few white spots on a Cory, So i treated this with heat for 2 weeks & was successful.
But after this they were still flicking & flexing on the bogwood & i saw bloodstreaks in the digestive tract of my oldest cory.
Will this be the dreaded worm?
I am treating them with Flubendazole currently & i am due to give the 3rd dose in a few days
Also i have 2 of everything so nothing is shared with tanks, This has always been the case

Since treating with the Fenbendazole there are no blood streaks in the old cory & there is no flicking or rubbing from anybody else but 1 of the female Corydoras is very fat & she has been like this for a while,She seems reluctant to swim to the top of the tank just like there is something up there stopping her
