Hi John, You can read about this treatment here:

John,

The Tub-to-Tub "Chinese" method is probably not going to fix your fish. If
is by no means a cure for Swim Bladder disease in itself. It is meant as a
way of isolating and directing meds to affect medication of fish with
disease problems. Swim Bladder Disease, if is caused by a disease, it is
internal and only high powered antibiotics are going to cure the disease,
but it will not cure the upside floating, this will continue because the
bacteria or virus has done damage to a small orfice in tubes connecting the
bladder pouches and when that happens nothing can reverse it. You can give
it a try and it may bring temporary relief, but like I told you this is
unlikely.

Give it a shot if you must, but remember with round bodied fish Swim Bladder
Problems are either there or not and if it rears its ugly head you are
likely to be there for the rest of the fish's life and you will just be
spinning you wheels.

Hope it Works!!

there is a procedure called the "Chinese Water" method. The fish is put into a tub
and only enough water is added to just cover the back fin. The fish is not fed for 4
days. If the fish is upright, each day a little more water is added (the fish must
be moved to fresh, aged water each day to move it away from ammonia accumulation).
After 4 days, if the fish is upright in deeper water, then a couple peas can be fed.
After that, gradually add a little more food. Ingrid
