Check the inlet for any powerheads that you have as well. I've found that nibbled parts of fish can easily get attached there without being overly noticeable.

Check any caves, etc. Fish don't usually totally disappear, and that amount of protein decaying in your tank can lead to nightmares in controlling ammonia.

Ya, anything that can't move away is fair game for a plec, they will try to scavange anything they can settle down on top of (or underneath, on the side of etc.)
