I've possibly come across another fish. I know this is an older topic, but the question is still being asked a lot.
The Japanese ricefish (Oryzias Latipes). They come in different bred colors and grow to a max. size of 3 cm. They leave their own fish eggs alone, not sure how that translates to salamander eggs though. They can be kept with freshwater shrimp aswell like Cherry shrimp (Neocaridina davidi).
 
Newts prefer fishless water so I wouldn't add any with them. Cherry shrimp do ok with them and newts could also use them as a snack - if they can catch them!
