First of all I want to thank you guys for helping me identify my eel. I haven't felt this kind of help in a small community anywhere else.
Now for the tetra's we had a dissappearing issue when we had a rainbow shark. We ended up getting rid of the shark and getting tetras till we had 20. Now we're down to 12. I currently have 3 swordtails, 2 loaches, a small brisslemouth pleco and a larger pleco that survived. Plus 2 eels, one that was answered here and another is a zigzag eel.
Am I having a problem with hiding spots? I know I don't have enough plants. I'm thinking of getting more moss and covering the area under the wood structure on the right.
Or are they getting sucked up the filter? I thought this but couldn't find any evidence in the filter system. Any advice would be fully appreciated.
Here's the pleco I'm questioning. 
I am by no means a fish expert, but I thought eels ate other fish.
Well it was the bichir eel. Just caught it.
Well, that definitely sucks but I’m glad you figured it out.
Uhm I think the eels I got are supposed to be passive. Besides, their mouths are way too small to eat one of the tetras. At least I think so...
Edit : oh shoot I just looked up zigzag eel and they can prey on smaller fish. But so weird. It's so tiny. And the guy I got it from had it in a tank with tetras. He seemed knowledgeable so I trusted his opinion. I'll talk to him again next time I go to his store.
