Missing Platy

[scampi]

Could a 4-5 inch BN eat a dead platy overnight?? One of my Platy girls wasn't looking at all well last night & now she's gone missing. I have searched the tank with my hands, under stones & in the planting etc no sign of her whatsoever. So the only thing I'm thinking is the Bristlenose altho I would've thought there'd be something left.

Have you any snails in the tank?

i dont think the BN would have eaten the platy.

Is it stuck to the filter inlet?

I had one that went missing and never found it. It was there alive one day and gone the next. Figured it jumped out and the cats got it. Unless snails can eat one overnight!

I've got alot of Ramshorn babies - but no adults, they're only the size of this - '0'. No sign of it in the filter, I've lifted the cobbles & ornaments but it's not underneath them. She was a fair size & I thought she was well pregnant but there wasn't a gravid spot. It's a real mystery. I had a male Platy disappear like that too about 2 weeks ago. Never did find him either.
