They are pretty mean predators. They eat all they can stuff into their mouth. I loved to catch all kind of water larvae when I was small, and dragonfly larvae was one of them.

I just googled them and they are disgusting looking...lol the things we do, pick up and catch as kids. We used to catch huge dragonflies at my grandparents house in Alabama. I mean HUGE. A good 4-5 inches long. When we found out that they bit though, we stopped xD
PP didn't have one in her tank though. I wonder what happened to all those poor lil fishies = /
5.5g: Pond snails 5.5g: Red Cherry Shrimp and Rams 10g: PZ the Pee Wee (DP), Ghost shrimp, Otos x3 36g: Luau the F8, Zebra nerites x8, sometimes a herd of ghost shrimp for food 60g: Perches the starry blenny, 1 watchman goby Snaps the l.c. hermit, 2 emerald crabs, 1 red crab, 2 turbos, 7 asteas, 2 nerites, 2 clown gobies and 2 firefish gobies (upgrading to a 90 gallon reef)
They make casings out of the substrate they are in, so would blend right in.
If the fish weren't in the filter, in the plants, in the substrate (carefully sifted through, but with big gravel pieces like that, it's unlikely), or otherwise ingested by another fish, then.... I still think someone or something would have had to take them out of the tank.
How much time from first fish to last did this take?
It's a crayfish! It's a snail! It's a... ah who cares?
Nom nom nom!...

I noticed only one loach was left, about 2 months ago. When I didn't see the single one that was left & algae growing on the glass, I lifted up the centerpiece & shook it, to see if there were fish caught up in the roots, inside. Nobody was in the decor.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

I'll take down the filter tonight & look it over, to see if there is any rotten flesh in there & move that decor to a big tank with lots of fish, to keep the bacteria stocked in it. That's the only thing in there, so I can get a better look at the empty tank.

i find that the dwarf puffers are EXTREMELY hard to see sometimes. my friend has a 55g corner tank and it has a whole pile of barbs , like 20, and 2 dwarf puffers. it is so hard to see them, they sit within the plants and peek out at you. i never thought barbs would be good tank mates with dp's but they get along quite well, both mind themselves
