I’d bet the tetras killed it and then the bichir finished it.
I feed my cories flakes, they are good for even the smallest fish. It will really scavenge off of sparky’s mess though.

-1 tetra. Got beat up. The largets of the new ones. He was probably pissing the largest petra off. He didn't have any scales on him. He broke my filter. MOst likely in desperation, he jumped into the filter, and stopped it. I only noticed when I didn't hear the constant filter noise. He got shredded. His top part is what I found. Sparky probably ate the other piece, cuz I couldn't find it. Such a terrible way to go. Cory's are fine. Completely used to the tank. Would they eat some veggies?
I am down 25 bucks! Those tetras (both added) cost me 25 bucks. Whatever, things happen. Spinach and cucumber DONT sink...what about Algae Wafers.
Yeah I know the feeling. Just lost a 120 dollar coral to brown jelly. Crap happens, as long as everything works out in the end is what’s important.
That’s why I’m so hesitant to get Congos (or any tetra over $5, they are so expensive for a shoal that just kills each other.
For vegetables you just weight them down with anything heavy, you could even use a fishing sinker.
Algae wafers would be good too (none of my fish were ever interested though).
I don’t think so. Stainless steel doesn’t do anything as far as I know.
I haven't heard of cories decimating a planted tank (like Silver Dollars). Eating the plants in a planted tank is a good clue about whether or not terrestrial vegetables will even benefit an omnivore, so be careful when you read that a certain fish is omnivorous. This doesn't necessarily mean that they can eat terrestrial vegetable matter. In fact, feeding the wrong food can lead to stress and sickness.
A good sinking pellet containing aquatic vegetation (algae) like NLS algaemax is much better for cories than terrestrial plant matter like cucumber or spinach.
