Default Wanting to keep tads ALIVE this year.

It is not possible to buy a pump at this time, and i don't have
electricity out there all the time, either, but i will keep this info.




I have a $15 Danner 80 GPH pump in this pond, so you don't need much.
Without circulation, plenty of plants is your best bet. I would keep the
tadpoles in the pond, but maybe do a 10% water change every week. I use the
water on my plants and top off the pond that much anyway.

Tadpoles are tiny and won't add much ammonia, and 3 goldfish aren't going to
produce much either, so you will probably be fine. My fish got romantic, so
I ended up with 17 fish in a pond twice your size, plus the tadpoles, and
none died.
