I see that now having read your article on your own experiences

- it was also your post here that summarized that article that led me to check my canister filters just in case and surprise! tho i found another sole survivor, it WASN'T of the loach lol - looks to be a cherry barb

- I gently scooped it out and placed it into my aquarium and it began to swim almost immediately with the adult cherries
i really need to pay more attention to my fish

lol
