looks like aggression to me ... LESSER chance... fin rot...:popcorn:
 
that would narrow it down then.....
 
could have been any of them but I would think the discus and blood parrots have a lesser chance on having done it, bps can't bite and discus are ussally peaceful... A good chance it was jewl beacause they can be nasty sometimes... I am thinking a 70% chance it was the big catfish beacause when I used to have one it stressed a paearsi cichlid not much smaller then it to death and bthe pleco was 1, 4th its size...
 
IMO... the MOST important thing would be NOT to put A new pleco in there UNTIL you can sort out the aggression issues... yoiur gonna need to WATCH the tank and ID the aggressive fish(es).... and remove it(them ...) if you want a pleco...
