Those appear to be flatworms. Prazipro will be the med for that. Good call with the freshwater dip- that will buy you a little time. Get the prazipro in there and follow the directions on the bottle. Might want to have an antibiotic just in case the "bites" get infected.
Prazi can be dosed in the tank, but not the antibiotics if you end up needing them.

Good luck. I'm not sure where to look for shipping to mexico. @Humblefish may be able to direct you to a way to get some.

Hopefully this is in pesos not dollars: http://www.amazon.com.mx/Hikari-Usa-AHK73251-Prazipro-Aquarium/dp/B001D6SKDO/

If it is in pesos, it works out to be about the same as what you would pay in the US on Amazon. But keep in mind 1 oz. of Prazipro only treats 120 US gallons, and you will need to dose a SECOND TIME 5-7 days after the initial dosage.
