Uhhhhhh!!! are there any fish missing from that tank??????.....:WHOA:
 
It would happen to my TSN sometimes. I figured it was from him scooping up gravel when he went to eat something, he passed it within a few days. I have a friend that has some red tail cats and his eat a ton of gravel and then poop it out after a while. Check for missing plecos also, mine got one last month, thought the point on the plecos fin was going to poke right through.
 
Not to sure what it could be. Gravel sounds like it might be the cause, if you have any.
 
thanks but here the thing. there was only 2 other cats in there that are 12" sso o know he didnt eat anyone and there is no gravel in there
 
oh and it looks like there is something pointing out

O.k. then...no gravel and no other fish besides Monster cat.......any decorations whatsoever that could have broken off, floated off etc... that could have been eaten.....think, think, think,.......... do you feed feeders, if so maybe a bad feeder from a few days ago (hope not)..............best of luck!!
 
Missing a powerhead, part of the heater, part of the filter or anything like that. Are you sure that nobody has been messing with the tank? Do you have any kids or anyone that might mess with it?
 
the only thing i can think of is he is tearing off and eating the plants. i have those replile plants that have a suction cup on it and there on the sides of the tank. so the only thing i can think of is he is eating it. if so will he **** it out or will it hurt them

Have you noticed if any of the fake plants and / or suction cups are indeed missing...............if so i would like to think that your tsn would s**t it out eventually. Not much else you can do if thats the case! good luck with it.
