Does it look like the brown is slightly metallic and dusted onto the fish? If so this is an external parasite called "Velvet".

"Anti Velvet and Slime" by Interpet is a very good med for treating velvet in my experience

Yeah you should treat the whole tank as the velvet parasite is pretty infectious, treating the whole tank with all the fish in it is the most effective way to get rid of it .

The med would probably harm the eggs, i don't think they will hatch out- but the adult fishes health should take the priority either way
