Oto missing from 10g tank!

[robby]

I have a 10g tank with 2 otos, 2 platys and 1 ghost shrimp. Tonight I found that one of the ottos is missing. I know they can be hard to find but I just spent 20 minutes poking anything and everything to be sure he wasn't just misplaced.

Any thoughts on what could have happened to him? No signs of a tank exit, not stuck to filter. If he died, could he have been devoured by the other guys in my tank?

My tank is at 88 degrees while being treated for ICH if that makes any difference. On day 12 though so if he were a goner I'd have expected him to be dead a while ago, not today.

Otto's are very sensitive. He may have died and the platys may have ate him.

We have a dog, I guess either of those is possible. Could the platys have finished him off in a day?

not likely. Do you have any hollow decorations with small holes?

Nope, just plants, rocks and driftwood. Have a sponge over the HOB filter intake as well.
