Well, that was an expensive meal...

I had the same thing happen to me with my Angel fish. Put in about 4 or 5 peppermints and whoosh - like Tiny Tim on a Christmas Ham - gone. I was successful in getting a couple of peppers into that tank by taking them in my hand and actually putting them in the rockwork. Once they were there the fish didn't bother them but man oh man if they were in the water column they were fair game. They were the same with snails - if I didn't make sure they were attached to the side of the tank and they fell through the water column - snack time.
