I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Thank you for getting back to me

What kind of frogs are they? And how big are your fish?

No problem. Frogs are attracted to ponds so if it were a bigger issue you'd definitely hear more people complaining about it. I've heard large Bullfrogs can eat birds so I suppose it's not impossible that it would go after a fish, but of all the frogs I've had over the past two years, they ignore the fish, large and small.

I haven't had problems with the frogs bothering the fish and alot of frogs have discovered the pond over the years.

Totally agree 100% with JB. I have HUGE bullfrogs, BTW, and they leave my fish alone, even the small fantails in the pond. Not saying they don't eat the fry and/or eggs, but that's population control, and I'm all for that.

Taddies clean the pond but they also clog up the filters .I get way to many and have to relocate them to the streams here or ponds nearby

I just got back from vacation and my pond is full of taddies. I'm a little worried about having that many frogs. I may have to try and relocate some as well.

They are not big at all they will fit in palm of my hand

Thank you everyone for feed back

Um ... is it the frogs or fish that fit in the palm of your hand? LOL If fish are that size, and you have huge bullfrogs, you MIGHT have to worry, but I would guess other critters will be more of a threat, like herons, raccoons, snakes, turtles, just to name a few.

You are good to go with the frogs, then. Enjoy!!! They are just another creature our ponds attract. Seems people with ponds either love or hate the frogs. I personally love them ... and the painted turtles that come from my farm pond and live in my backyard ponds for a couple of months. Now the snapping turtles are not allowed. LOL Only have seen babies (infants, really, like 1" long) snappers, and they got relocated back to the farm pond.

Nice pond btw! If frogs ate fish I would not have any fish I have so many frogs. I would not worry about them like they say above.
