Help! Please

[Divstarr]

right i woke up this morning and noticed that one of my platies was missing, then floating at the top an actual skeleton
i didnt believe it at first becuase if the fish died of natrual causes it would of probably been all there.
A Skeleton!

i dont know who did this but it must have been a fish, if the corpse was eaten to the bones

my fish list is
6 guppies
6 now 5 platies
3 small red and blue neons
a bigger orange neon (that chases fish)
2 sucker fish (which i think are Chinese)


any ideas?
please reply soon
thanks

What are your water stats? Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, etc? A good number of fish like that can reduce a dead or dying fish to a skeleton very quickly even if they had nothing to do with its death. Chinese algae eaters (what it sounds like your sucker fish may be) can get aggressive when they're big, so if they're over the 4-6 inch mark, I might suspect them, but even then only after ruling out a water problem or possibly a disease in the tank.
