Floating and frantic swimming

Update:

I put Keating back in her new habitat today, she was floating a bit but nowhere near in the way she had been, the only think that worries me is that she has just vomited up all the food I had given her over the past 5 days. All of it. As I understand it, this could be normal as she was fridged and her metabolism wouldn't have digested it? I hope it's normal.

I plan to leave her alone until this time tomorrow and then try feeding her a worm.
 
Well, those compost worms sure know how to put up a fight. Keating swallowed one just earlier and coughed it back up just now still moving, I'm trying to re-feed it to her but she just keeps spiting it back out...
 
Compost worms can exude a foul fluid. Try cutting it in half and rinsing it well first.

If she still rejects it, wait until tomorrow and then try again. No point in stressing her out.
 
Yeh she vommed up her stone after the fridging when she was with stone. I rinse the worms off in a little aquarium water before giving them to her. She's pretty happy right now, ate two smaller worms just now.

Thanks for all your help guys, now all I have to do is work on lowering the PH - I suspect I was given some dud info on my PH balancer...which does read KH balancer but I was assured (and I mean assured) that it would serve the same purpose, I am becoming dubious.
