Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Feed as much as it will eat. You might also try live blackworms. It may even take frozen brine shrimp.

Expand that little sal's diet! Try some live bloodworms, blackworms, whiteworms, pinhead crickets, springtails, fruit flies. Also make sure his/her tank has good filtration and flow. And as Greg said, feed as much as the little thing wants!

And also even if i could get blackworms there really expensive... Hes still in complete water he has sloping land area but i havent seen him out of the water so i dont think he will eat fruit flys... Should i just let him go in the creek i found him in?

Likely it would accept frozen food (blackworms, mosquito larvae, brine shrimp as already mentioned...).
Local aquarium shops (good ones, not PetCo) sometimes carry live blackworms; local fish clubs sometimes do group buys you can get in on. Live blackworms are not expensive locally (buck or two a tablespoon).
Floating FFs might entice it to try them. Easy enough to try -- got a banana?
I'd feed frozen, if it were my animal.

You can let a small piece of banana sit out to attract fruit flies. Not a long term solution, but an easy way to try a different food item.
Ultimately, it will eat frozen food once it figures out it is the same thing as live food. There are likely many tricks to weaning animals from live to dead food, but one simple technique is to feed some live and some frozen food at the same time, so that the animal eats both and thus figures out how tasty dead food is. Every salamander I've met has a much smaller brain than stomach, so this shouldn't be difficult.
