Did i traumatize my fish. and if so is it going to die.?

K. so weve had these like shark/algae eaters for what seems like a year. at babies they wre the size of a paperclip. now they are 6 inches. i hav no clue what they are. they are really energetic and really aggressive. yesterday while cleaning my fish tank i dcided to clean it a little better better than i usually do. so i transferred some of the tank water to the bucket and put my 3 sharks in there using a net. This being these fishes first experience towards this. and they are hard to catch with the net too. They did not like the bucket. immediately they started poking their head out of the water. and one of them learned he could jump. if it jumped it wouldve left the bucket. so he started jumping. i luckily stopped his jump with the net. and i thought to myself. o crap. i cant leave them in the bucket, ill have to put them back in the tank. so i tried scooping jumpy from the bucket with my net. only to make him jump even higher. so when i scooped for him i blocked him from leaving the bucket with my hand. once i got them all back in the tank. jumpy is just swimming along with his friends. and so im putting the aquarium plants back in and he hits my hand and gets startled and jumps out of the water super fast and hits the aquarium light. he was fine. still swimming round like nothing happened. now today i examine the fish and one doesnt seem as energetic as the others. and i startled them when i took off the flap to feed them . all of them go zooming around hitting the gl. except the lousy one he does something retarded. he freaks out jumps out of the water. them swims as fast as it can into the pebbles. as if it were trying to burrow itself. then it goes and hides. so my question is... will jumpy die becuz i traumatized him.
