Ok lets do a synopsis of what just happened to prevent it from happening again. We took a fish from the wild and put it into our domestic tank. Parasite found and not eliminated..... fish put back into the wild possibly containing NEW and IMPROVED SUPER DOMESTIC BACTERIA. I call it NISDB for short.
PS Miles was right. Copper kills all. You could have used the stuff that you put into your sewer.... that's where I used to get my copper from. you could have also barbequed the fish.... which would have killed the parasites, kept all of your domestic problems in it's tank and made one hell of a meal.

Aparently you've never lived in the sticks.... Put in our sewer?....can you say 'leach bed' or septic tank.... Don't have to put anything in it which means I didn't have any copper solutions. Note the word solutions....the copper we typically use, which I wasn't able to get to a store to buy, is not pure....its a solution. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think pennies would break down fast enough to give a level to kill them. Further, I figure it's too small to eat, and there are natural things that take care of those in the wild where he comes from. Hence giving him a chance to get better and survive normally. And an anchor worm isn't considered a bacteria. I would also consider a home aquarium way more apt to contain less types of bacteria. Would you risk a full tank infestation of anchor worms?? Didn't think so. The idea here was to find a way maybe to get or make chems that would work. Super bacteria 
I don't think I'm going to affect much with a secluded pond that probably has enough chems in it to kill whatever when he was reintroduced anyways....

I'm just saying puting wild in with domestic then releasing back into the wild isn't smart. For insteance... fish carry with them good and bad bacteria. Gold tetra actually are that way because of a simbiatic bacteria. All animals carry bacteria... this is basic biology. If any bacteria were to be introduced to a new host it could have terrible consiquinces. I beleive it was the flu that killed many native americans because their body's could not fight that bacteria. Also it sounds like your pond already has life......
Just trying to help.
