unusual fish death

I had a 4 inch pleco stuff himself in the roots of a Anubis nana I had tied to a rock. just saw the tip of his tail. Also had 3 red eyed tetras swim up into my filter intake when I was cleaning the screen. First one got chopped pretty good.
I had to travel on business last week and my husband and daughter were in charge of my tanks. When I got back, my husband told me that he was really worried about the convict tank, since the fish looked "unhappy". I took a look in the tank, and things looked grim. I could only spot three of the five big convicts and they were "panting" and very pale. Then I took a glance at a pump in the corner, and noticed that the guard had fallen off of it, and two striped tails were sticking out of the intake. Go figure, the water quality had headed south while I was gone due to the corpses in the tank; no telling how long they'd been there, but it had been at least a few days. I lost one more the day after this grim discovery, and the other two seem to be recovering after a very thorough cleaning and some major partial water changes.
The worst part: I'm leaving tomorrow on another business trip. EEP!

I believe, one of my Angelfish commited suicide buy puncturing himself with Rafael's dorsal fin.
Also, due to lack of space, I put four Afrcian frogs in a bidet (bidé). At night I heard a frog hopping through the bedroom. Caught, washed, put him back in. But, next morning there were still only three frogs left in the bidet (bidé). I am afraid the fourth squeezed himself through into the sewer...
Hopefuly, historians of the future will not mention my name as one of the gringo-criminal who introduced African frogs to South America.

Sorry to hear about those stories. I have also lost a few fish that jumped out of the tank. The first was a male Dovii about 3" , then a lost a Pike and a Managuense. All it takes is a small gap between the hood and filter. I suppose they thought the grass was greener on the other side.
