Default Eastern Spotted Newts and Loaches?
I understand that putting fish in with newts is generally bad because the newts will snap at them, but I was wondering if it would be healthy to put kuhli loaches in with my newts. I have a whole bunch of them and I don't really care if they get eaten. Though, I'm worried that it might cause digestive issues. Any thoughts?

It would not be 'healthy' for either species, starting with the difference in optimal water temperatures required and for many other reasons. You may want to review this article as part of your decision process: Caudata Culture Articles - Fish with Caudates

And as a dietary component, feeder fish are are of poor nutritive value.
