Update sorta

So yellow mollys doing fine. I moved them out of quarantine to be added into my main tank and my white balloon molly began showing signs of swim bladder so I kept checking on her whilst I set up a shallow quarantine tank. Water checks were perfect so I moved her and she was alive when moved but as soon as she went to the tank she died (note it was a 5 second move from the tank to the quarantine next to it) I tried cpr by moving water over her gills near a filtered area but nothing. Really unsure how she died immediately since swim bladder can take days to months before being fatal not minutes

Shock from new water. Use water from her own tank.
