Anyhoo, i've had my pond for quite a while now- i did intend to move my indoor goldfish out into the pond last year, but due to the unusually extremely rainy and cold summer we had last year the pond never rose to warm enough temperatures for the goldfish to be safely and happily moved out into it. So the goldfish ended up remaining indoors while their lovely big pond sat outside awaiting to see them the next year. Next year is now though, and again another summer of opportunity is coming along in the near future, and i want to move the goldfish out into the pond badly now (don't worry they haven't outgrown the tank they're in)- i don't care if we get another wet cold summer, i'll put damn heating in the pond if i have to.
So taking into consideration that the goldfish are definitely going in the pond this summer no matter what, i now have the problem of frog spawn. Last year the frogs layed quite a lot of frog spawn in the pond which hatched out into hundreds of tadpoles which then grew into cute little frogs
. This year though the frogs have layed absolutely masses of the stuff in comparison to what they did last year, and i don't want the goldfish to gorge themselves on all the tadpoles when they go into the pond.
I really like the frogs, i hear them singing on cool late evenings and the frogs do wonders for the garden by eating all the slugs and woodlice etc- so i want to try and save some of the frog spawn and hatch the stuff out into tadpoles, which i will raise in a spare aquarium. I very vaguely remember raising tadpoles into frogs in the biology lab at school when i was a kid, but as i said i only vaguely remember, so...I was reading this article on raising tadpoles;

Does the article in the above link advice/info sound correct? Is there anything else more that i need to know on raising tadpoles
? Any advice/info is appreciated
