The fish will die.
now that they cells are in a hipotonic solution (more solvent than solute) they will swell up due to osmotic pressure and finally die
Yeah.
the fresh water is hypotonic - meaning it has a lower solute concentration - than the fish. the water will enter the fish, to lower the concentration, and the fish cells will burst from too much water.
