I live in the hills near Willits, California, in a mixed redwood/Douglas fir forest. I created a small pond in a half wine barrel with a plastic liner. It has some cattails and algae, and two goldfish, about two inches long. This spring we were delighted when some pacific tree frogs moved in, filling the house with their croaks. Now I looked, and there among the cattails, are dozens of tiny tadpoles developing in translucent egg sacs. I think they will emerge soon. I am wondering if I should remove the goldfish? Or will the tadpoles be able to hide well enough in the algae? I can post a picture tomorrow.
