Good morning,

My pond must be very healthy because I have an army of tadpoles. I am new to ponds and I don’t know what to do. I am about to get 6 goldfish and I am hoping they will eat some of them? How shall I control the frog population? At this rate I will have more than a 200 frogs 😂

Are they frogs or are they toads. Either way they won't all hang at your pond. Once they become 4 legged they move on a few will stay behind.
If frogs you can count on hawks raccoons and a host of others coming for a meal

I get tads in my small wildlife pond each year. No fish in it and the frogs seem to all move on after they have grown. A few seem to show up again in the next spring and the circle of life goes on 🥰

Before we closed our pond, I'd get TONS to toad tadpoles and just like they showed up suddenly, they left !
