Well, perhaps the person who explained to me why my pleco both disappeared without a trace was wrong then
They told me that the goldfish ate them because my tank was not big enough. And that if goldfish have to compete for resources they will eat tank mates
Both snails I tried were also eaten, as were my pet shrimp
I was never able to keep anything more than the two goldfish until I put them into a pond
This was back when I was new, and I did not know about the space requirements of the goldfish
Plecos hide, they also jump.. if a goldfish aye one it would likely choke in the many spines they carry to avoid.. being eaten they hide kind enough so far they'll vanish without a trace. I've lost one that was just gone, no trace.. if you have snails than the clean up will be on them.
