The problem is, I don't live near any ponds that have frogs, and I can't find any lakes near me that have them. I don't think that frogs would be willing to go all the way to my pond either. There is no chance whatsoever of me getting tadpoles by just waiting. The only way I can get them is by buying them. And I was only gonna buy one.
Mudd, why do you post on here, if you wont listen to anyone? You made a comment earlier about using crays or tadpoles to cycles your pond, yet you said you have the bacteria rings. Sit down, get your story straight. Do you do any research on any species you want in the pond/tanks you have? Crays require really good water quality. or else they die fast and make things worse, then if they do survive, any smaller fish you have that will grow the size you want will be food. When the crays will be food for the raccoons. read a book and actually listen before you do something else stupid. Don't be dumb enough to release exotic species in your area. Last thing you need is more regulation of the fish keeping hobby, but you seem hell bent on giving them a reason to pass more laws.
I would like it if you called me markgilst.
Mark, Like the others are saying, tadpoles grow up to be frogs. If you are unclear of the fast look in a biology book. and you have said quite the contrary. You've mentioned in both chat and an another thread that you want to have these frogs in your pond. You don't seem to get what anyone is telling you, or you would rather do these things without regard to the environment outside your pond. It's very arrogant to think that because you have a pond that your aquatic organisms will ever leave. If you look into it you will see that even aquatic species of plants are banned from certain parts of the country. DO everyone a favor and before you consider getting ANYTHING else for the pond )or whatever aquariums you rope your parents in to buying for you) read up on how invasive species were introduced to areas and the impact on the environment. You mentioned that you have these bacterial rings, do you not understand that even with the rings the pond still needs to cycle? The reason I come down on you time and time again is your complete lack of regard for the health of your aquatic systems, and lack of planning for them. Most of us have given you advice when you asked for help, only to have you just ignore us or tell us that we are wrong. You seem to have this idea that when you tell us something we don't fully understand what you are doing and why. When we ask you questions about your setup you gloss over as much as you can so you can try to hear only what you want. Frankly, I know a few of us are tired of this game you keep playing.
thanks.
