There [were] 9 neon tetras I put in a 60 gallon tank, but that night, 2 went missing! I thought that maybe the 2 inch oscar might have ate them, so I took the oscar out and put him in another tank. :no:

...

But the next night, one more went missing!!! Is there a "neon eater" :X in the fish tank? None of my other fish have big enough mouths to swallow them, thinking it is food. There are: 1 pleco. , 4 angelfish (VERY young, mouths are a lot smaller than the neon tetras themselves) , 3 dojos , and 3 rosy barbs.

During the day when I check them out, they all seem to get along perfectly well!

I checked the filters also, but nothing came up. :-(

Thanks!!
 
Neons are the natural food for angel fish in the wild, so that is your second suspect. How big are the barbs? they could be killing them and then the pleco is eating the bodies. :dunno:
