the pleco looks like a gibbiceps, it will get large, but not quite as big as a common pleco.
The tetras I see are black skirts, I see some mollies, a ruby barb, a gold barb.. No real killers, here. I'd think the deceased just died for unknown reasons and got eaten by the fish, maybe even sucked up by the filter.
That's really helpful thanks.
The filter is quite strong so it seems feasible that's what could be happening. I'll try turn it down tonight.
Thanks again Sherlock!
