By eye fluke do you mean inside the eye? Every eye fluke I have read about has a multi-host life cycle so shouldn't be able to spread. here is a picture of a really bad case. To kill them use Praziquantel (both in food and in water)

yep thats it but not so intence yet so can i treat the whole tank or one at a time in a quaretine tank ???
 
If more than one fish has it treat the tank, the med is not that expensive, bigal's carries both food and water treatment, and it won't hurt your biofilter.
