Could scissortails or red rasboras have eaten a neon tetra?

Question

I recently started filling my new 55 gallon aquarium and I started with 10 fish. 6 Black Neons, 2 Red Rasboras, and 2 scissortails. The scissortails and rasboras are pretty small. I was out for the day today and when I came back I saw what had become a school of just 5 black neons and i can't seem to find the other one in the tank. Is it possible he was eaten?

Answer 1

Possible, but doubtful. The black neon would have had to be dead first. More likely you will find your fish on the floor somewhere or in the filter.

Answer 2

No, not possible, none of them are capable of eating a neon.
