Hi, you can feed any whole fish, either salt or freshwater, if they are too big to swallow whole, cut them into pieces along the length so that each piece contains the skin, bones, intestines, etc, I mainly use trout for my monitor.
Of course if you can afford it for the time being while the animal is still quite small you could offer tropical fish if you can get them cheap enough (or a few goldfish if you cannot).
I must mention that it`s much easier to feed f/t (frozen thawed) or f/k (fresh killed) rather than placing them in a water container still alive. The reason being that if the monitor is still not acclimated to the enclosure, it can take them much faster without exposing itself for too long, so less stressful.
