Are you guys watching your fish during the dip? You need to sit there and watch them for the full duration of the dip. They don't just roll over and croak. If freshwater is stressing them they will let you know one way or another. Most often they will try to jump out of the dip container or keep hitting the sides trying to break out or just lay on their sides and pant. Wait no time taking them out if you see any signs of distress. Have a second container with QT saltwater ready to reveive the fish in case the FW does not work out. I tried to dip a mystery wrasse once. As soon as he hit the water he came back out like a missile and hit me right in the eyeball. It happened so fast I didn't have time to blink.
