Glad the treatment proved effective, let us know if there are any developments (hope not)
Yep, that's a rotifer. A live rotifer doesn't come from the intestine of a fish, it comes from elsewhere in the tank. Its important to collect the poop samples fresh before they hit the bottom of the tank. Sitting on the floor of the tank, the feces get invaded right away by a hundred common things like ciliates, rotifers, or worms, and which are almost always harmless. You only want to see what was in the gut of the fish, otherwise you can be misled into a wrong diagnosis, or medicating unnecessarily.
Might be coincidence but Hugo Quaresma just put up a video of Eddy Leysen doing a necroscopy and microscopical examination of a freshly caught wild discus. Lots of Teyrahymena in the skin, Dactylogyrus in the gills and Oxyuris eggs in the gut
