If you google "Fresh Water Dip" or Fresh Water Bath" you'll find lots of examples and explanations on how to go about doing it. The gist of it is this.
Make up a bath of RO/DI or at least de-chlorinated water and bring that bath up to the exact same temperature and pH as your display tank water. Once you have achieved this, place your fish in a colander and lower it into the bath. Observe the fish carefully for signs of severe stress like convulsions. If the fish is in severe stress take it out immediately and abort. Opinions vary, but I like to bath the for 4-5 minutes. I also like to aerate the bath water with a bubble/air stone so that oxygen doesn't deplete to critical levels. Hope that helps and good look. Got pictures yet?

It's flukes. Use some Praziquantal if you can purchase some. If you find some I can tell you how to use it. Oh and you need some vodka since prazi doesnt mix well. Flukes will fall off of the host to drop eggs so there may be a period of 5-7 days of your fish being normal then the eggs will hatch and flukes appear again. So you need to use prazi..wait 5 days..repeat.
