My firebelly newt decided to go on strike and won't eat bloodworms anymore.. I bought some baby guppies and it seems like he is scared of them. Today I bought a baby ghost shrimp, and less than a minute later I couldn't find it in my tank. Is it possible that he ate it so quickly?
 
That could be. Try adding a couple more.
 
Although it is more than possible that your little guy eat the shrimp, ghost shrimp are hard to see and like to hiding. I thought the same thing when I bought mine and I found it a day or two later hiding.

I would try small/chopped earthworms or blackworms. Also keep in mind that if your newt is a little stressed (from the fish/water change/temp) it will turn down food.

Good luck

    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?
