Long black worm thing?

One of my blue gouramis has this long black tendrill thing stick out of him. What is it? A parasite maybe and how long do I have untill he gets really sick? What can I do to cure him?

It looks more like the camallanus worm based on the description. I went to petsmart today and picked up an anti parasite based fish food. I hope that will help. Any other ideas would be greatly appriciated.
