You need to look up some information about frogs.
They eat garden pests, lots of them.
They will not impact on your goldfishes food.
You can't put the frogspawn in a river or stream, it needs still water -
find another pond and drop it in there.
The pond will attract frogs every year, so whatever you do you'll have to
get used to doing it.
