Look like baby fish! Tadpoles have a rounder head.

Let them grow a little and find homes for them. Any idea how many there are ?
If the tails are forked they are fish, if it is a single tail they're tadpoles.

Be ready to see them every summer
When you see the tell-tale signs of mating (lots of chasing and rustling through the plants) stop feeding them. They will take care of the population naturally.
In the meantime - congratulations! You have grand fish!

The first time any pond keeper finds baby fish they get all excited j. But by the time they try to catch them all and the pond gets over populated we are always less impressed that the pond is healthy and is making babies.
