No joke…my fish floated to the top after swimming erratically (in loops and upsides and sideways , it was strange) so I poked him, nothing. So instead I tried a fish defibrillator a.k.a. A 9-volt battery. I touched the 2 leads to the fish and, I sh*t you not, he began swimming again. It’s now a day later and he’s still alive.

put them in a net and make them swim and let the water enter their mouth and out the gills, they do that sea world if something happens

First get yourself a mouthful of fish tank water. Place your mouth over the fish lips (make sure you have a tight seal….) and pinch its’ nose with your fingers so no water squirts out (nobody likes it when water squirts out of their nose) when you blow the water into its’ mouth.
Next, lay the fish on its’ back and do two or three quick compressions of the heart area (that is the area just between the paired fins) with your little finger.
Now go back and start again with the mouthful of water. Be sure, if it is a saltwater fish, you are using salt water, not fresh.
If it is a freshwater fish, tap water could be used, but you would need to let it set out for 24 hours before using it so the chlorine evaporates out.
Now, 24 hours is a long time to wait to do CPR, but, hey, there’s always a chance, right…..
Keep repeating those steps until the fish revives or begins to smell really bad.

O.K., I know you all are going to not believe this, but I actually tried giving mouth to mouth to my pet goldfish I had for five years. One day, he was swimming upside down. I called the pet store and that lady said that this happens sometimes to fish — something about a problem with air in the bladder. She said if you take it out of the water and squeeze its side a little, it sometimes help. Anyway, after a while, I could see that Jaws was on his last fin, so to speak. So I pulled him out of the water and tried breathing into his mouth. I put him back in the water and he just floated. No, I didn’t flush him. But I figured it would rather be eaten and digested quickly by my farm cat than left in the ground to be eaten slowly by worms, so…
100% true story.
