i was trying to recreate my team to be that of south american river type..with drift woods making e water brownish

but i realise my tetras dissaperaing one by one not to mention i cant find most of their carcass

did you cycle the tank before introducing the fish?

Sounds like a clown loach...? How big is he? If the fish is big enough, it can eat your tetras, that would explain why they vanished. Also, they could have died and the loach/ other critters ate them, or they got sucked into the filter. Hard to know without more info, or pics.

That fish could be a leporanus, how big is it? Whats the body shape? If its that it will get a foot long and will eat anything that will fit into its mouth.
