easy way to find out if it is flukes of any kind do a fresh water dip the flukes will come off as they will explode kind of in the fresh water there body can not adjust to the water change. they will either float on the top or sink to the bottom depending when you look for them. If they have just come off the fish they tend to float for a few seconds and then drop to the bottom remove the fish and place in a container with salt water in it to let the fish get rid of any of the flukes that died in his gills. if they are open sores then you can use melifix to help the fish heal. I have used it and it helps.

Remember that a quarantine tank doesn't necessarily have to be an aquarium. You can use a rubbermaid tub or anything else that will hold water if you don't have the cash or space to set up another aqarium. Of course, the advantage in using an aquarium is that you can observe the fish a lot easier, but anything that will hold water and is fish safe should do in an emergency.
