One of my Black Mollys some time ago had some problems, like her back was
broken and she was swimming sideways and all around. Someone mentioned a
teaspoon full of salt, which I added and it did no good. It actually had
appeared her back was broken some way. I went on vacation over
thanksgiving and when I came back, she was gone. I decided to look and
removed all the possible hiding plaes in the tank and looked and the fish
is no where to be found, totally vanished. Our LFS owner told me that my
Pleco, which is pretty big now, about 8 inches, would start eating my
other fish. Is this a possibility/probability? The Pleco seems totally
docile and hasnt messed with any of the tetras or the clowns.
=======================
I've seen them rasp on dead fish. Some people have problems with them
rasping the slime coat off live fish. This can cause infections and the
death of their tankmates. It probably died, was nibbled on and quickly
decomposed.
