Tadpoles and green stuff
 

Do tadpoles alone eat/clear the pond water of the green stuff(algea)?

My observation and experience says, yes.

Does anyone know for sure (scientifically)?

I love simple things
P.S.: I have a 50 gal pond.

Tadpoles are vegetarians, they have the long
coiled intestines for processing plant matter. They will also snarf up any
protein that gets in their way or eat up a dead sibling or fish, but for the
most part plant matter is their diet of choice.

They may eat it, but at the rate it develops, I doubt they make much
impression on it. :(
