Hello All!

I have another dilemma I hope someone can help with.

I am happy to report that for the first time, I have a whole bunch of American Toad tadpoles. Unfortunately, the eggs hatched before I could get them moved. I was planning on a late spring cleanout to get ready for converting to a pondless waterfall. Now they are everywhere and the string algae has taken over the pond. I have been doing nothing for algae control (peat and peroxide) because I'm worried it will affect the little ones. I have no fish to control them either since I had a late winter kill. I can't manually remove the algae because the tads are mixed in.

So… am I stuck with this algae mess until the toadlets leave?
