    If he died in the first week and nobody took him out of the tank,the rest probably had him for a midnight snack!

    but ok..on a serious note.. two weeks is enough time for it to be eaten...instead of looking for something bronze rather keep an eye out for a similar shape white skeleton..they have quite obvious ones compared to normal fish..

    If it was dead for weeks, could well have been eaten by the other fish.

    a cory wouldn't have much of a skeleton, it probably fell apart and dispersed into you substrate
