I only have to little gold barb fish

one of them is a really tough little asshole.
One day I got this tiger barb and 2 days later he was dead the bigger gold barb wasted him.

Yesterday I was cleaning thier tank and had the 2 fish in a big bowl, no lid
I go in another room to have yoke while the outside of the tank is drying, that took about 10 mins.

I go to put the fish back in the tank and there is only one,
the big one had jumped out of the bowl and landed 5 feet away.
He was not moving or breathing He was dead.

So I took the fish and put him in a strainer and ran cold water over it for a couple of minutes then noticed that the gills had moved a bit.
I then took it and put it back in the tank and 5 minutes later the fish was ok.
Today the fish is fine no problems.
tough little fish, part catfish I think.
Wow I'll remember that little trick
