    Hi Nathan, gill flukes and tapeworm can be treated using praziquantal. Aquamaster seems to be a good brand.

    I'd also treat for nematodes (round worms and thread worms) using Levamisole. Big L Pig and Poultry wormer is good, as it's water soluble, and has no added sugars.
    Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P
