Question
Can goldfish and tree frog tadpoles live together in the same pond (6ft X 6ft X 20inches)?

Answer
Goldfish will eat tree frog eggs and smaller tadpoles.  If you're lucky, they might miss a few.  They usually can't eat larger tadpoles but tree frog tadpoles are small.  I suggest setting up a smaller tub pond near the main pond for the tree frog tadpoles.  I maintain a lot of smaller ponds that the frogs use to lay their eggs away from the hungry fish.  Good luck with your goldfish and frogs!
