copper doesn't treat for flukes and yes, if one has it they all have it. Prazi is the recommended treatment for flukes. You can do a freshwater dip first though to see if they have any on them before medicating.

Yes. but be aware there is a small chance it may kill feather dusters and bristleworms.
