JD,

No sure about the fish eating the tadpoles. I to hatch quite a few in my warmwater pond and very few survive. I do know my bass will eat a toad if I throw it in.

I would assume they would be eaten but it is possible something about them is disagreeable. I say this because I know of a pond where I grew up as a kid that the bass didn't seem to bother the tadpoles.

Pottsy, thanks for the info. I will see what the wife says about that.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
