The fact that you found a carcus is your first clue. If it were the Pacus there would have been no carcus. Second clue Tiger Barbs are notorious fin nippers. The culprit(s) are the Tiger Barbs. Prosecution rests.

Tiger barbs chased the cory around and tired him out when you weren't looking. Tigers love to chase and bother. Then the pacus were there to take the blame and suck the eyes out. Poor cory

With this jury they'll have all your fish fried for murder. Here's the story:
The Tiger barbs chased the Cory until he tired so much he couldn't move. All that rapid movement startled the Pacu and he slammed the Cory into the glass by accident, killing the Cory. The Plecostomus thinking that the Cory was just decaying matter began to suck on the carcus while the Apple Snail held it down.
FRY 'EM ALL.

the barbs got a little bit of the tail, the pacus being the jerks that they are =P, they ate your cory when it was defenseless... thats my side tho =)

Seriously, look at my first post. If it were the Pacu there would not be a carcus the Pacu would have devoured the Cory in one bite. The Plecostamus wouldn't bother the Cory unless it was already dead. The manner that it died is consistent with the way Tiger Barbs react with other fish.
