Betta fish anyone?

The goldfish enjoyed a nice chill in the freezer then a ride down the toliet to the septic take in a fishy icecube. ANd for the record the gold fish was twice the size of the betta. Kept chewing on its fins. When I chased the betta with the net to pick it out to clean the tank, the fins were gone (hanging by threads, fast movement ment shaking them off) As I look as him now, He completly regrew his fins and lives with 4 "community fish" (remind me oof small minnows) and they are happy. There is a pleco and a tiny shrimp in there too. All in all, my 20 gallon tank is a good place to live if you are a fish or a scum sucker.
 
I've got a few Pristella X-Ray Tetras and a few Glo Light Tetras. One of each is very much bigger than the others....then again, I keep having fish coming up missing. The other day there was a Blue Wag Plate missing and the X-Rays belly was a shade of light blue...his own damned genetics gave him away. Otherwise i think I'm gnna trade them in at the local store for something different. Not sure what yet.
 
I feed them at 2 30 am. I wonder what will happen when school starts. And one of my fish went missing. He had a real colorful tail, was slow moving, strutted his stuff as he swam, and enjoyed the betta pellets. I wonder what happened. :(

EDIT: This is a month ago. He never pop'd up. The shrimp and alge sucker got extremely big in a short amout of time too......
