I would advise moving the fish back into the pond, the water quality will be better in the pond and so less stressful for the fish. With parasites in ponds, you have to treat the whole pond rather than trying to treat individual fish or moving them to a separate place to be treated, otherwise the parasites will survive in the pond and just keep on recolonizing the fish.

Put the fish back in the pond and use a treatment like this one in the link below to rid them of the anchor worms;

I went to the aquarium and the told me to put some ACRIFLAVINE to get the worm from the pond
I have put some salt in the tank and aquarisol to treat the fish

As far as i am aware Aricflavine is more of an anti-bacterial/fungal treatment than an anti parasitic one so probably won't work- this link has a lot of info on different pond treatments;

Try visiting different pet shops to see if they have any other medication, you need something that kills external parasites on fish, i don't live in Mexico so i'm not sure what treatments are available over there i'm afraid.
