I came out this morning to clean my pond prefilter and found these swimming around in the shallows.
After a little research I figured out that they are American Toad tadpoles. There are at least 50 of them swimming around. The fish don’t seem the slightest bit interested in them.

I’m not sure. I am currently rasing some toadpoles and they got air bubbles in them. Yuck!
how do i tell the difference between a tadpole and a toadpole??
what do they eat?
toadpoles (Toad larvae form) are usually black or very dark brown and smaller. tadpoles (frog larvae form) are brown or green blending into mud and bigger. toadpoles eat algae and vegetable matter. I am currently raising anywhere from 23-27 tadpoles in a 5 gallon container with a log and a few spots for the toadlets to get on to land.when they become adults (in about 2-3 months) i am going to rlease tham near a pond nearby (does not house domestic fish) they are so cute!
TOAD POLES HAVE BIGGER HEADS AND AS THEY GROW THEY TEND TO POO ALLOT URGHHHH.THEY EAT ALGI AND MOSQUITO LAVA.
