i did not notice them till i got home and my fancy guppies started disappering. then this morning one had a whole guppy in his or hers mouth and it was just as big as the one that was eating it.

put them in a separate tank, or buy one of those things for Beta's that go in your tank, but keep the fish separate. It suctions to the glass

These guys are known to get aggressive as they get older/bigger. They stop eating the algae and go after the fish. Strongly do not recommend these fish for anyone. And I always see them mixed in with community/tropical fish at the stores.
Regardless if it is or isn't, take them back to the fish store. Tell them the fish is too aggressive and is killing off your other fish.

Bag them and take them to a pet store. They will take your unwanted fish rather than you having to kill them. Call the pet store ahead of time to make sure they will take the fish but most pet stores selling fish will take them. Nex time you get fish, ask the store if the fish you are buying will be compatible with your guppies and if the fish are aggressive or peaceful.

It could be a Beta Fish. They tend to be a little agressive. Just put them in another tank.

are you talking about Arawanas? Photo below http://www.elmersaquarium.com/10arawana.htm
"Feeding: Feed once a day. Baby arawanas will absorb their yolk sac. Afterwards they can be given live brine shrimp. Once they reach a few inches in size they will accept live guppies. Adult arawanas will eat a variety of foods. We recommend live goldfish."

i think you're talking about 'chinese algae eater'... maybe..... These guys are quite aggressive. They eat more meat than algae. And I've seen them attack other fish...
umm. return him if you can. I don't think you were expecting this guy to eat everybody.
