Is there a fish that would eat the tadpoles?

I have 5 goldfish (could get more) but I don't think more would even help.

There are many species of frogs in Florida, and if you build a pond, they will come. And they can be really loud at night! But I also think they should not be eliminated; they eat a lot of bad bugs and are part of the natural ecosystem.

Why do you think the tadpoles are cane toads?

I found the toad in the skimmer, I've had the same problem a week ago and I know what their eggs look like.

You really need to eliminate adult cane toads . If eggs are laid and not noticed very soon after it becomes an impossible task to get rid of all the tadpoles (I call them 'toadpoles') as you've found. I do regular patrols at night, spotlighted toads are easy to catch. When they're breeding the cane toad call is clear and loud which also makes them easy to find. A single female can lay up to 35,000 eggs. Much easier to get rid of them while they're still in the original packaging.

oh my God. I've got the aftermath I guess. ugh. thanks for the help. now I've got to deal with a string algae problem

There are fish, water snails and freshwater shrimps which eat algae. Try checking that out for where you are.

that's good to know. I don't have a local pond store so I'm figuring this all out myself

Algae grows where there's nutrients in the water and lots of sunlight, something that's a bit hard to deal with in ponds. Try doing online searches.

and in Florida nonetheless

Be careful if you have dogs. I was researching a toad that I found in my yard a week ago and came across an article that mentioned cane toads having venom containing glands on the back and if threatened release the venom and it becomes poison to the dog if it comes in contact with it.

I'm aware. thanks! my dog is scared of anything smaller than her (which is a lot of things) so I think she's safe

Don't lick one please.
