I didn't want to threadsteal so new post  ;)  I was actually wondering how common flukes were in other fish. 

Are the symptoms are similar across species? 

I doubt small tetras would do the gill chattering or yawning that my goldfish demonstrated.  At least I've never seen my rainbows or loaches do this.   I prazi'd my loaches after I got them (in qt) as they were quite thin and were in with a tankful of goldfish at the LFS.

Flukes are VERY common in discus.  In fact, unless I remembered wrong, flukes are the number one reason for discus fry mortality rates in breeding setups.
