Your plec must have died before. Your plec probably did not die directly from being predated upon; Walking Catfish would leave no remains and the other two fish probably wouldn't go after a plec. Was the plec getting enough food? Also, check your water parameters to make sure that they're all good. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

Chances are even the pleco wouldn't have fit eventually. They will all die really soon if you don't do something. I would suggest you take them all back to the store and do some more research before you kill anymore fish.
