Well a freshwater dip will kill most invertebrates. They can be stressful, but it may help.

Yeah it should be fine, make sure you get the temperature exactly the same.

I would do it for 3-5 minutes, watch the fish the entire time, if it starts to look really stressed then take it out. Its not gonna kill it, it should get rid of whatever is on it.

I always add a tiny bit of prime to the RO water and get the temp exactly the same. This will help reduce the shock.
