Missing Fish...

Hey guys.
Just something to know.
I have missing fish! LOL
Two of them, just disappeared.
I couldn't find them anywhere in or around the tank.
My fish contained 2 glowlight tetras & 3 fan tail goldfishes. (temporary stock)
When I came home from school today, I couldn't find both of them.
I thought, it could've been the filter that sucked them in or something.
Or they could be lying on the gravel.
But now my guess is (my mum suggested) that one of the goldfish probably accidently ate them up?
The reason why this is my guess because my fantails have lately been swimming on the bottom and middle regions of the tank. When they swim on the bottom, they tend to search for food by sucking in gravel, then spitting them out. By chance, they could've accidently sucked in my glowlights?
I don't think it's possible, but what else could it be?

How big are the fantails? Goldfish are live feeders given the chance so if they are big enough they could well have eaten the tetras

my best guess would be that the goldies ate them, but it depends on how big they are compared to your other fish.

Oh wow! Interesting... I didn't know goldfish eat small live fish. My glowlights are actually quite small. Maybe the size of the sign you see on every thread "Post Reply". Yeah, that small... My goldfish are quite big. I just posted a new thread about them. Pictures are there. Thanks guys for your help!
