What else to you have in your tank?

How do you know they've been eaten? Botia striata are known for hiding, I have five and hardly see them except in the evenings when the night light is on. As Fishy asks, what else have you?

Its a pakistani loach, 1 was disembowled right up his underbelly, the other one i have enclosed a picture below, looks paralised from the markings down and not moving his tail.
 
they were housed with a baby pleco which i also bought yesterday
mollies
platys
corydoras
xray tetra
and shrimp

I see, yes, yoyo loaches (also Pakisatani loach). Doesn't seem to be anything in your tank that would take offence to your new fish. I wonder if they've had a go at each other?
