Re: tadpoles - again

[Matrix]

Tadpoles are almost a thing of the past for me. There can be up to 7
pairs of toads producing eggs at once and my koi will be eagerly waiting
for the toad "caviar" to be freshly made and will consume it in record
time.

I don't mind as it will keep a toad population down around my pond.
I have not seen a string of eggs in a long while.

Btw I am in Corpus Christi ;-)

Howdy neighbor! :)

The pond that has tadpoles was made specifically for
wildlife, i.e., not koi or goldfish. I do have minnows in
there to deal with mosquito larvae, but I think the
dragonflies do that, too. Mostly I wanted to see if I could
get toads & frogs.
