These are the Chinese Firebelly Newts.

I don't think it's a good idea feeding them to your channa as they are mildly poisonous (primarily tetrodotoxins)

It might make your channa sick
 
wow there beautiful, i couldnt feed them to my channa.....Id keep them if it were possible to, we have some beautiful newt's here near me but it's against the law to even touch them let alone keep them,,,,give it a year it will be illegal to even look at them
 
they are banned in england too?
well yeah they are beautiful,but i just googled some info about them and they seem pretty difficult to keep in summers...i'll try and sell them or give it to someone who wants it
 
wow they are gorgeous! yeah over here its illegal to touch them. i remember this guy painted one yellow and got fined 2 grand!

painted it?:screwy:

he deserved it too
if my grandpas friend can be fined $30,000 for pulling his boat up on a grass flat, then screwing with nature like that should be too
