We had a couple toads who were mating near the upper tier of our three tiered fish pond a week or so ago

Tonight I was delighted to see about 100 tadpoles swimming about or clutched on the rocks.

The clumsy swimming fantail goldfish are usually the occupants of this upper pond. They have not been moved in yet and I think I will keep them out until these tadpoles grow. I don't want them all to get eaten.

Don't know what you can do about that, though.

I guess I'll keep monitoring them and hope for the best.
