In my backyard I have this little waterfall pond, its very small. Well one day the air pump stopped working and we felt it alone for a few days. I noticed frogs hanging around and there and eggs floating on top of the water. About a week after that I seen quite a lot of tadpoles, the water is very green and thick with algae plus, I do not want to have a breeding pond for mosquito's. At this point I don't know what to do, I want to raise this tadpoles in an healthy environment and to get rid of the mosquito's also.
So the question is, how do I clean this water without harming the tadpoles and frogs?
Depending on the frog species, they might just clear the mosquito larvae or algae for you.
For the algae you could also throw in some Daphnia, they clear the algae and also provide a food source when dealing with carnivorous tadpoles.
Neither way, i wouldn't worry to much about the tadpoles, they will do just fine, whatever they eat, there is plenty of it inside you're pond![]()
