Fish for food?

[Animal Guy]

I have a paddle tailed newt and I was wondering what kind of fish I can get him to eat from the pet store. What kind should I get him and not get him? How many? How many times a week?

Earthworms are a more appropriate food choice.

Nutritionally, small whole fish are good, BUT feeder fish are often disease-carriers. Unless you are willing to raise your own, I wouldn't recommend it.

If the fish have been frozen for at least two weeks then the risk of parasites is minimized but you would then have to either supplement with thiamine or only use them as the occasional food source.
