anyone ever heard of this?

I was wondering if anyone ever heard of this?
I've had a BTA for about 11 months now,2 months ago I added a second one. 2 weeks ago my new one wandered a little too close to the intake tube on my HOB and got partially sucked in. I turned the power off,disconnected the tube and laid it on the bottom. By morning he had gotten himself out. 3 days later he split in 2. Everybody was doing fine.
Now that your up to speed,here's my question. Last night my clones had settled down next to each other,they moved around almost every night. This morning when I checked the tank,my BTA coount is back down to 2. It appears that one clone ate the other. I checked everywhere in the tank and he's nowhere to be found. Has anyone ever heard/experienced this before?
I almost forgot,my remaining clone is in the process of moving over to the older BTA. Has it turned into a cannibal,should I be worried for my "old guy"?

Give it some time. It may have just moved under / behind a rock. They do that sometimes and can be very hard to spot.

I dont think they should really move around that much, if they are that typically means they are not happy for some reason.

Once my friend brought over some funny brownies that made all my fish clone. It was like I was seeing double. Then a couple hours later, I was hungry, had a headache and the clones were all gone.
Did you have any brownies before your's happened?

only the new one moves around. My original BTA hasn't moved in about 10 months. He's damn near tripled in size since I got him and went from that "pet store bleached" to a much darker color. I'de say I'm doing okay. My new has actually settled down in one of my larger rocks for the last day and a half (a record for him). Perhaps you didn't notice what my question was. I wasn't looking for critism,I was hoping someone would have experience with what I was talking about.
