Can you ID the fish better than 'Black Loach'?
If it is a Loach, almoat all are very social critters, and should generally be kept in groups of half a dozen or more.
Check all your water parameters.
Ammonia and nitrite need to be 0 ppm
Nitrate should be under 20, lower is better.
Confirm what species you have, and check that the GH, KH and pH are in the proper range for that fish.
Also check the water temperature.

Sounds like osmotic shock.
