We have a Koi pond in our back yard.
The toads found it within days of getting it up and running. We had to clean filters yesterday, and I counted 6 toads, and lots of eggs and soon to be tadpoles.
The Koi will gorge on the tadpoles but many still manage to become toads. They have been singing LOUDLY for the last few days. One neighbor asked it we had bought the toads. I laughed and said they are wild toads and we have no control over them anymore than the birds in the area.
Our male dachshund has finally learned not to poke them with his nose or get them in his mouth, he just paws at them, and finally gives up.
Lots of tadpoles each year. The black things are all tadpoles.
