Right now we have toads and tadpoles, I have no idea how many

found,


the ones I purchased were "tiger frogs" he said, but these

were
bigger the the toads ever get to in size as tadpoles.



lol That's funny.... The water moving by itself!
That presents a picture.

Suggestion tho', due to food competition, if you really want the
frogs
you bought to succeed, you might want to seriously consider
removing a
bunch of the toad tadpoles from your pond and relocating them
elsewhere.
The shop where you bought your tadpoles might want them for resale
also.

If you can find a pond store that will buy toad tads, I could
probably
retire, no matter what they paid. They're more common than trolls
on
austin.general.


giggles That's why I left that group. ;-)
Got tired of being harrassed and the group generated _way_ too many
messages.



Build it (a pond) and they will come. I dropped a half
watermelon that was past its prime in the pond and the tads ate it
down
to a
paper thin shell.


Neat. :-) If I had a pond, or even had an aquarium set up, I'd buy a
few
off of you! If for no other reason than to give Linda's little girl a
chance to watch the miracle of the tadpole...

Amber is 5 and as adorable and curious a little tomboy as anyone
would
want! I just love to give her bugs and stuff just to see her little
face
light up. sigh I have no kids of my own so I have to enjoy
everybody
elses!

Hmmmmm.... They have an aquarium set up with goldfish. Will large
goldfish eat toad tads???

I kinda doubt it. I used to have a 4'x8' cement "pond" stocked with
feeder goldfish and trapped minnows. Some of the goldfish grew to 6"
or better. Every year, there'd be so many tadpoles I'd dipnet 'em out
and go pour them in the same mudhole I'd trapped the minnows in.

The tadpoles would be swimming around, eating algae off the side of
the
pond, and trying to nibble on the sides of the goldfish! The goldfish
got all twitchy, like they were saying "Get away! Leave me alone!".

Where are you in Austin?
I am in San Marcos. Would you be willing to part with some for Amber?
How much? :-)

Sorry; that was several years ago. If I had any, I'd bring 'em to you
for free. It seems a little late in the year, too.

Ok. Thanks anyway. :-)
If anyone else following this thread has any, please let me know?


During that same period, I pulled under the I-35 bridge there in SM,
backed down to the river, and started pulling out my 5-gallon buckets.
Some yuppy-looking guy starts yelling, "Hey, you can't wash your truck
here! It'll run right into the river!" I just smiled, filled up my
buckets, put them back in the truck and drove away. Nice, fresh, river
water to top off the pond!

Cool! That's a good way to get microflora....
