If they are black and about a half inch long, they are probably toad tadpoles. Nothing to worry about. Unlike bullfrog tadpoles, that can take 2 years to develop into frogs, the "toadpoles" develop relatively quickly. They seem to turn into toads nearly all at the same time. It is pretty cool when they do as the shore of your pond will be covered with tiny toads as they head out to eat mosquitos and other pests.
