was it alone in the tank? or with an o? if with an o, how big is the o????
i have a friend who lost plec (aka- janitor fish) only to find the tail

well he wasnt alone. i would say my pleco is the same size as my O or was...... but one night i saw him the next day i noticed he was completely gone, i dont think that my O could get him in his mouth cus hes a baby and there is no bulge at all in his stomach but its bizarre, just gone.

ok thanks, but in regards to being eatin, my O never had a problem with him and wen he occasionally would check him out my pleco would get feisty so he didnt take any crap. thats wat i dont get. i know Os r quik but im sure my pleco could put up a good fight before being eatin. but thanks for everyones help.

that is really bizarre- if the P is the same size as the O - how could the O possibly eat it without notice? If it was me, I'd probably remove all decorations from the tank - there must be a corpse or something???? any chance he jumped out and another household pet ate it?
