Don't worry about swishing them forwards and back, it won't hurt the fish. Either way, the water flowing over the gills is higher in oxygen content than the blood in the gill filaments. Cross-current ventilation (which works when water flows into the mouth, across the gills, and out the gill openings) works most efficiently, but it will work the other way, also.
