Does this look/sound like flukes?

I had many fish with flukes before, freshwater and saltwater but never saw any mucous on the fish because of that. I don't think you would see this on the gill unless there are a huge amount of them, but thats unlikely.

My copperband butterfly had flukes and 2 treatments of prazipro took care of it. You might want to try a cleaner shrimp as well as they are good at removing the flukes.
