It helps to aerate the water even with one's hand if need be on the way home. I'm not sure if lack of O2 is what killed the loach, but I had a bunch of huge Africans from Bainbridge that were dying on the ferry ride home. I used my hand to keep enough O2 in the water of all the buckets and they all made it. One fish was about 3 lbs.

Now I gotta ask. Did that biggie Clown loach not make it through the auction? Folks were talking stories about it early on. He made it thru the auction, but died in transit to somewhere south of Tacoma. Poor thing, he was awesome.
