New Frog Pond

 Gidday - Have set up frog pond but no frogs yet.  Put 10 white
mountain minnows in, and they are alive and kicking.  I will just wait
till frogs hop in and do their stuff or has anyone got info on where I
can get Westmead/Parramatta tadpoles?  Thanks

 G'day, wont the minnows eat the frogs eggs?

nope - recommended compatible with frogs.  chucked them in to see if
my frog-pond could sustain animals.  No belly--ups and there is heaps
of algae.  Water was pretty murky but has now cleared and I can see
the bottom.  Thanks for your input.

 I think you'll have trouble getting tadpoles from somewhere else mainly
because I think it's illegal to take them from anywhere now! I think the
frogs will turn up sooner or later. It would have been sooner if we were
 still in the middle of the drought but I suspect they have more water
sources to choose from at the moment, and I also suspect their numbers
haven't built up yet. My place has been visited by frogs (I don't have a
pond) but not very many yet. Be patient, they'll turn up. Enjoy the pond
and minnows in the meantime. Have you got water plants??
