Paddle tailed newt and rosy red minnow?

[axrobledo313]

Can I keep my paddle tailed with with 1 or 2 rosy red minnows until he eats them? these fish will mostly be for feeding rather than an actual tank mate. The tank is a 10 gallon and is half way full. It has a bit of a land potion even though it is unessesary. Also can shrimp or snails live in there as food as well. If so want kind. Thank you for all you responses.

I would avoid fish as they tend to be nutritionally poor for caudates, as well as being a possible disease vector. But if you are dead set on doing it, be sure to quarantine the fish for a few months prior to introducing them into your newt's tank.

A better feeding option for your newt would be worms, scuds, and daphnia.
