Default Wanting to keep tads ALIVE this year.

You are 100% correct. No electricity but more water. No, i had
surgery and won't be doing the pond thing for a while. I guess i will
just hope for the best. Can you answer me two questions? If i have no
choice and just want to see how it plays out, #1- how often should i
do partial water changes? #2- will an aerator help with ammonia at
all? I could probably lose my fish before i went through the mass
killing of tads that went on last year. If things go my way in the
next few months, i will be able to afford and take on another pond
project and will go for electricity, etc. But not this ponding
season.

===================
Why don't you just net most of them out and release them in a farm pond or
lake somewhere? That's what I do when the tads show up in my smallest pond.
My larger ponds are netted so they can't breed in them.
