Ok I went up to my Aunt's house over the weekend. There are little fish in her ponds along with 3 large koi. We think the koi are about 10 years old.
Anyway, there are a lot of some kind of small fish, along with a few tadpoles and quite a few salamanders. I caught one of the small fish and took a picture of it. To me it looks like a type of minnow. But I'm not sure. I was hoping someone could tell me what kind it is.

Here are a few pictures.

All the black gots are the small fish lol.


Here are 2 close up pictures of one of the fish. I didn't have him out of the water long and put him back as soon as I was done :)

Thanks for the help on the salamander. Lol I was confused when I saw the same picture that i posted here lol. Took me a while to figured out that you posted it on the other forum for me. Yeah...it's been a long day lol. Don't mind me lol

The small fish doesn't look like a feeder fish. He's silver and has a red tail. I've never seen a feeder like him before.
 
It looks alot to me like a shiner. Are you in the US?

Or maybe a bitterling?

What state was this? That would be helpful.
 
In the US and My Aunt's house is in Pennsylvania.
 
thats a red spotted newt aka eastern newt aka red eft in its terrestrial bright red form
 
My Aunt's house is in northern Pa. um....the largest town close to it is Williamsport ( I think ). Williamsport is about maybe 45 to an hours drive from where the house is I believe. Not sure if that helped or not.
