Yesterday I bought 3 guppies, I very pretty blue male and 2 very pregnant females. Last nite I checked them before bed and all three were doing fine. Well this morning the male was completely gone, I checked the tank and the floor and every where in between but no guppy. So my three year asks me "mommy wheres fish" I had to tell her it ran away. lol. I have never lost a fish by it jumping out of the tank and I really don't think the females ate him.
 
You'd be surprised at how fast fish will eat one that dies.
If its not on the floor nearby or stuck in the filter,then its very likely they did eat him.

Probably died from shock in the change of water, or was diseased. If it's dead, it will be eaten. Make sure you acclimate fish to water and watch the tanks for ones that look healthy before you buy, and always quarantine.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
