By the way, generally toad tadpoles tend to be very dark brown or black unless you shine a bright light at them and they then appear to have golden spots. Toad tadpoles are also more bulbous and have shorter tails with much less fin height/depth.

Aren't toad eggs also laid in threads, rather than a lump mass? (I honestly don't remember if that's an absolute rule, or just one for the species in my region. Isn't it funny how, when you've had a factoid stored long enough, you start to blur its specifics?)
It depends on the toads. Many Bufonids lay strings but some do other things (such as lay single eggs or a few stuck together at a time).
