I dismantled a small half built pond in my yard a few weeks back, and as
I
drained it, I found hundreds of tadpoles. So we dumped those into a
rubbermaid container, and dismantled the pond. Now I have rubbermaid
with
100's of tadpoles, and some other insect life, in a rubbermaid that has
several inches of mud now settled on the bottom. I want to figure a way
to
dump these guys into the main pond, but avoid the mud from going in.

Any ideas? I have overflowed the rubbermaid for days, and got some of
the
tads out, but after awhile, they all swam to the bottom and avoided the
current.

How about pouring the whole thing through a sieve or colander? The mud
should go through, and the tads stay in the sieve. You may have to pour
additional water through the sieve to get rid of the mud.

I was worried about hurting the tads doing this. You think they'd be OK?

Sure, as long as the stream of water wasn't too hard.
