If it could fit in the oscars mouth then it is quite possible the oscar ate it.

Have you searched everywhere in your tank plecos like to hide. I didn't see mine for weeks, thinking I had looked everywhere it could fit. I was wrong. I have a square clay pot type decoration, it's put in upside down, there are fish shapes cut out. The pleco could fit in there, that is where it had been hiding.

I second the Oscar ate it. I could believe the things Roy could get down his mouth.
