    perhaps your fish is dead already. Then the pleco will munch on it.

    They will only eat dead fish as far as I've experienced/heard of. Even the meat eaters would eat other live fish.

    I am sure he hides under the substrate...that's what mine do all the time. I am sure you will see him again but don't know when.

    Yeah, kuhli loach are great at hiding. They like to squeeze themselves into tight places as well, so it may be hidden in a crevice in driftwood or something. I know that mine like going behind my heater every once in a while (the little gap between the glass and the heater where the suction cups are).

    I have had my 3 Kuhli's for over 3 yrs now. Only see now every now n then. They spend most of their time hiding underneath the wood and caves that I'd built for them... Oh n they always come out whenever I'm throwing blood worms and brine shrimps into the tank!
