zachyd Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I have got 8 to 10 gold fish and was wondering how well do gold fish go with tadpoles? my biggest gold fish is about 20 centameters I have seen a frog in the pond and are wanting to get more but don't now how gold fish will react with tadpoles.

Ira Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Depends whether or not your intent is for the tadpoles to be food for the goldfish. If not then they likely won't go very well without lots of cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbreeder Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 when frogs mature they will try and mate with the fish and possibly drown them as they dont let go quickly. and the frogs willl eat fish eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 If you really love your frogs I wouldn't risk it. Think how bad you would feel if you got up one morning to only find half a frog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snorkelboy Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Frogs just turned up one rainy night and they lived with my goldfish for years without any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 When I was a bit younger we had a neighbor who kept goldfish and frogs together. They seemed to do very well. The only problem was the other predators like birds. From what I remember my neighbor said aslong as the tadpoles had a good hiding spot and heaps of space from the fish, they'll be fine since all fish like to taste test. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
