According to:
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/conker/pond-dip/newts.htm#eat
"They eat anything alive and moving which they can fit in their mouths! (And that includes smaller newts!)"
And, according to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newt#Distribution
"The three common European genera are the crested newts (Triturus sp.), the European newts (Tylotriton sp.), the banded newts (Ommatotriton sp.), and some individuals such as the Spanish Ribbed Newt (Plurodeles waltl), the largest newt, and the Alpine newt (Mesotriton alpestris).
In North America, there are the Eastern newts (Notophthalmus sp.), of which the red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) is the most abundant species, but it is limited to the area east of the Rocky Mountains. The three species of coastal, or Western newts are the red-bellied newt, the California Newt, and the rough-skinned newt, all of which belong to the genus Taricha, which is confined to the area west of the Rockies.
In Southeast Asia and Japan, species commonly encountered in the pet trade include the firebelly newts (Cynops sp.), the paddletail newts (Pachytriton sp.), the crocodile newts (Tylototriton sp.), and the warty newts (Paramesotriton sp.). In the Middle East there are the Middle Eastern newts (Neurergus sp.).[2]"
Hope this helps!
