Toad & Tadpoles

Our fish pond was full of clumps of tadpoles eggs this morning and a medium size black goldfish died. I scooped up the dead fish and buried it under the mango tree. When I came home 2 hours later with ma ma, another bigger goldfish had died too. The water also had a foul smell and a big toad was guarding at the side of the pond. I decided to drain off half the water in the pond and scooped up as much tadpoles eggs as I could. The toad jumped towards me to protest. I got a shock and used a stick to chase it away. It refused to leave the pond but hid itself under the heliconia leaf. Luckily the rain water we saved was sufficient to fill the pond up again (using tap water to fill pond is costly).
