If only you wish to stock some special amphibians that certainly won't come by themselves then you may have a try but it doesn't mean they will like your pond.


I believe that they are like anything else. If you have provided adequate cover, food, and a place for them to reproduce, and your water conditions are suitable they should be able to sustain a population.

This may not be the case, but to me it is worth the time and effort. I could buy 100 mud puppies and raise them in a smaller body of water, make a large brood tank, and then stock them in my pond when I have a few thousand large adults. If nothing else I could have an endless supply of them to use as trophy bass bait LOL.
