Honestly, I think they all will be dead by the time this stuff gets to me, its a 5 to 7 day ship date then the time it takes to get to me.

I’m still not convinced what your fish have are parasitic copepods.

How did you take the scrapes?

And do you have better photos of these eggs you speak of?

You keep posting these same images but the top one is an obvious tisbe copepod.

Parasitic copepods have two grabbing appendages that they use to attach onto the fish skin

No - that won't help.

Run a search here for: Interceptor / Milbemycin oxime, If you can source that, it can also be used. Veterinarians prescribe it, but they usually won't do so for fish as that is considered "off label use".

I was able to buy in on https://www.ohiokoi.com/

I will take a bit to get, hoping the last few fish make it. I did a hydrogen peroxide dip yesterday and antibiotics, and they made it though the night.

Could be, how would I treat that in the DT?

I know that Paracleanse fixes the fish lice, BUT I believe that it needs to be in a QT tank :)

Paracleanse is a mix of praziquantel and metronidazole, those ingredients don't treat crustacean parasites.

None of those pictures are for diseases caused by crustaceans. If it discusses crustacean parasites in the text or in advertising, then they are wrong. It may not be widely known, but the companies who make these products often make unfounded claims about their products.
