should I be concerned . . .

Deer Park, IL(Zone 5b)

if a new tadpole is discovered dead in my skimmer this afternoon? I am very worried about my new koi getting sick like my last batch did and now this new tadpole is dead in my skimmer. BTW, all my levels are 0 and the ph is 7.5 so I feel okay about the water quality.

mothermole....tadpoles can die pretty easily (which is why they are born by the 1,000's) Make sure you take him out of the pond, so he doesn't rot and pollute the water. Sometimes they get sucked into a skimmer or pump, and because they are surface breathers, they drown.

Good to know-thanks-I gave him a proper burial by my rose bushes!
