try using 2 nets or guide him into a cup.

I think they can infect the other fish after it dies, it depends on the parasite.
 
zebra loach are Best kept in groups,The lighting in the tank should not be overly bright. how long was he eating for? only buy heathy fish at the store.
 
Once i got him eating blood worms and put him in my 55g, he has been happily living and eating for i would say bout 3-4 weeks (i really do not know for shure but he has been in my 55g for a long time now) but also he has always been a skinny loach, it is just in the last while that his bones have started to show
 
try some garlic extract for a appetite stimulant,add a few drops to the food.If the fish is not eating, you can add Garlic directly to the aquarium water at the rate of 1 drop per 10 gallons.try some zucchini and some other veggies,put them at the bottom with veggie clip and keep them there over night,I had clown loach that loved cucumbers,i think most loches will eat veggies. allso try http://www.loaches.com/ they might known more.
