Who's the culprit?

2 months ago, 2 new young dwarf frogs vanished from my previously frog proof tank. Now 2 of my fully grown tetras have vanished. The only two suspects are a golden gourami and a pleco... who dunnit?

Any cats in the house?

cats? I shoot cats for fun... but thats a different hobby (only joking for those cat lovers out there). No other pets... on both occassions when animals went missin, i'd not fed them the nights before.

golden gourami and a pleco

Goodness, I'm not sure. Did you check the filter to see if they are in there? Did you check all around the area where the tnak is?

they may have died and then were eaten by the pleco. Depending on the pleco, he may be an omnivore.

How big is the pleco. I've had a pleco attach itself to the side of a live fish. They will kill.

They do enjoy the slim coat and some love "red meat."

Would that be white meat. LOL

I wasn't sure Most of a fish is muscle....

We eat alot of fish here in Southern Louisiana (mostly catfish). Most fish (when cooked) are white. A good tuna steak being one of the exceptions.

The pleco is a big boy alright, hes about 5" so it could be him then. He's just one of those brown plecos you get from a pet shop...
