the goldfish got flukes, here's steps I took to cure them.

A standard salt treatment could take care of the patogen, but not the fluke. Remember we are talking about 1-2 or 3 future generations of flukes. Follow this treatment carefully.

Praziquatel(Sources: Pet Mountain, PondRx, Drs Foster and Smith). Vacuum well. Use slightly rounded teaspoon per 20 gallons. Follow this schedule when treating flukes with Prazi:

Day 1 - remove carbon, perform 30% water change with vacuuming and add Prazi to the tank
Day 2 - add Prazi
Day 3 to 5 - do nothing
Day 6 and 7 - add Prazi
Day 8 - normal water change with vacuuming
Day 14 - normal water change, then add Prazi
Day 21 - normal water change, then add Prazi
Day 28 - normal water change, then add Prazi
Day 35 - normal water change, add carbon, treatment is complete!

Other treatments are also quite as good. You can use one of these: PP(Potassium Permanganate), Fluketabs, QuickCure, Formalin, Health Guard, Dromcit.

A repeated treatment is also needed. Egg and larvae are still living in your tank even if you have taken care of its mother. The 2nd treatment should occur 4 days after the 1st, and the 3rd - 4 days after the 2nd. Do not overdose your tank with these treatments. Also read instructions carefully.
