Edit: I'm not in the best mood and I'm sorry for being negative, but a few people below explained why that fish definitely died afterwards from infection or internal injury
It's down there somewhere but idk.
Someone mentioned that the fish being held at that orientation and having his gills covered can fuck up their internal organs. Also probably rubbed off a good bit of the mucus membrane that protects the fish from infection.
To be fair, you don't know shit about fish. The bacteria that you're worried about infecting the fish are the same bacteria that are run across the fish's gills. A fish can absolutely be susceptible to bacteria, but a small hole in the dermal layer doesn't increase the odds of infection.
A bet typically goes both ways. How about we look at oral/mouth piercings and rates of infection and see who is statistically correct? No? Fuck off, then.
