To be honest I wouldn't off thought any of them fish on your list would of killed the panda corys, have you looked in the filer.

 

[STEVIE00]

Hi STEVIE00

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but pandas are not easy corys to keep. They are delicate and very sensitive to water conditions. They often just die without warning signs.

Your other fish probably didn't kill them, but might have eaten them once they did die. This is natural and nothing to be overly concerned about. You will probably be able to keep other kinds of corys without a problem, The C.aeneus, either bronze or albino are excellent fish. Although I have many different kinds of corys, they are still among my favorites.

but theres no sign of them
do fish eat the bones too

I've never seen a pleco kill a fish... but I have seen them eat dead fish several times... and yes they will eat them bones and all...

I'm not suggesting this is what happened... but it is a possibility

Do you have a cat or children? We lost a fish one time and I figure he jumped out of the tank and that cat found him before I did... still no sign of the poor guy.

Depending on the inlet to your filter from the fish tank, this fish may have been sucked in there? I think you already said you looked, but just an idea!

txs but its still a mystery

Did you check in the filter intake tube? I was missing a paradise gourami for like a week and I took the filter off to clean it and he was wedged in the intake tube all cylinder-shaped. Have no clue how he got in there.
