Water Change!

[benmate]

i did a water change and sucked up my clown loaches

and fished them out of the bucket and put them back into
the tank.
will they survive and get on with life normally in the tank!!!

do they appear to be okay?

I've done this with a variety of species, and will often transfer fry with a large bore siphon. As long as they didn't get hung on the trip through they should be no worse for wear.

Should be fine if he has no visible injuries.

I can't tell you how many times I've done this to my shrimp.

I've always been afraid of this, but now that I have burrowing bottom-feeders, I am more afraid of severing or crushing them!

Your loach should be fine, just keep an eye on him and that is about all you can do.
