As Title said, it'll make it much easier to find answers about how to go about curing your fish.
On a separate issue, I was using this "waterlife Sterazin" thingy to cure my guppies of "flukes". Although my guppies got better, half of them became "floaters" (can't sink). I wonder if anyone knows why.

With as slow as this guild is, I think another subforum is the last thing we need. (:
Perhaps your fish didn't get the floats from the medication, but from something else? Did you change their diet around the time you began treating them for flukes?
Another possibility is water quality. If for some reason the water quality dropped drastically that might have triggered an infection that caused the floats.
As a precaution, pre-soak all dry foods before feeding. Try a water change and monitor the water quality more closely.
Also try feeding them a piece of veg that's boiled in unsalted water until it is soft enough to break apart when you pinch it. Be sure that it's about the same temperature (inside and outside of the veg) before you plunk it in the tank. You don't want to cook your fishes xD
If you're not sure what kind of veg, you can try a piece of broccoli (the head mostly), or peas. Be sure to take them out of their little shells after you boil them. Unless you are sure your hands and nails are pristinely clean, try not to peel them off with your finger nails, just split them with a knife.
If their floats are caused by impaction (digestion blockage) then the veg should help clear them out. (:
