I found body behind the tank this morning :( ..Poor little guy. I did a head count last night, and all present and accounted for. Any one else have problems with jumpers squeezing through little openings? I feel so bad...

Did you find a note? Sorry - couldn't resist.
It's natural for fish to jump (not knowing what species this was is kind of hard to guess), but usually in ornamental fish, if they begin to jump it's usually do to stress of some sort.
Best thing to do is keep close eyes on your water parameters, and if you add new fish make sure they are compatible with your buddies that are in there already.
Good luck

My son brought home guppies from school last year, and they all jumped out of little openings. It was the strangest thing ever.

Fish do have stress and they r easily frightened.....it's not your fault....just be more careful. I once had a bigger fish used it's body to break down my whole aquarium!

Try dousing lights in and around the tank at night.
