How to get rid of Bullfrog tadpoles - Page 2 - Aquarium Advice

Reefmonkey · 08-18-2006, 12:17 PM

Gulf coast toads laid so many eggs in my pond, when they hatched and I saw how many tadpoles I had, I was sure I would be innundated with them. They seem to have really decreased in number though. My fish don't seem to be really voracious with them, and the baby softshell turtle I put in doesn't seem to be really going after them, so I am not sure what got them down to a manageable number, but I am grateful. I just hope enough will remain to become full fledged toads. My stepson loves watching them glow.

Hey, I know someone that can send you fully grown bullfrogs the size of dinnerplates (or just about). They're easy to catch too, but not in a really humane way. The frogs are quite dumb and try to eat bobbers that are way to big for them and they are easily hooked on fishing lures. Hey, I warned you that it wasn't humane the way I catch them. But the frogs do come from nearby parts of the lake to share in the bobber and lure eating.
