Abducted By Aliens?

[Betta splendens]

Hey, I have a 20 gal tank, sand substrate, and well planted. And I've noticed that 3 of my fish have gone missing, two neons and a 2-inch three-spined stickleback. There is no trace on the sand, no bones no rotting carcass. There isnt any bones in the filter. And no fish in there is big enough to eat 'em! I've scowered the tank and in the plants and no clue where they are!

My point being, is there any body else who's had this happen to them?

i have 3 little corys, who r the same size of one of the missing fish. and my little 4-inch pleco surley couldn't have eaten them, could he?

Plecos wont eat live fish, but they - and the cories, and indeed most fish, will eat a corpse. Chances are the fish died, and they cleaned up for you

and the just went missing, the night i got them.

my guess is those darn angelfish ate them.
