I'm having a pretty severe issue with flukes and I am not sure what treatment to use. I'm not sure where to find 'formalin' at all... I have a Petco and two smaller LFS' in my area. What is the recommended treatment for these pesky little buggers?
 
Do a little search with the search function. Lots of info in here.

In Europe we use a medicine by Sera. Stateside you have a lot of other options, just don't remember the brands.
 
How can you be sure your issue is flukes?
 
Jungle Labs Parasite Clear...

I have used it for gill flukes in the past with no ill effects on the fish.

Kordon Formalin-3 I've used it as a dip treatment with excellent results..
Animal Instincts in Fall River, MA has the Formalin-3.

Just follow the directions on the bottle and add an airstone or 2 to the tank.
