Actually, even well fed plecos occasionally will become hunters. I've had a few go this way, and they will take down anything that swim basically. I still don't really have any problems with shrimp and even these extreme plecos.

I don't put it past the goldfish either but speaking from experiance here I don't find goldfish to be smart predators and all the ones I have had were pretty docile. I have heard horror stories though about corydoras and such getting stuck in their throat.

I guess there is only one way to find out. Move one of the species and see if the shrimp keep vanashing.

I'd advise taking veggies out before they rot, such as the morning after you feed them, and try feeding some more meaty foods like worms/prawn etc. I wouldn't put it past either of your fish to be picking off the shrimp. Plecos is hit and miss i know, it depends on the individual.
