plus most if not all toads contain chemicals in their "warts" that either cause a bad taste or kill or.......both!

frogs are the way to go

well i do feed them frogs but the toads tend to like toswim in my tank and my pond i couldnt stop them

i would not feed anyfish toads, like delgado said, they contain chemicals that can hurt or kill their preditor. Its a great defense mechinism...unless its your fish. Its also adviced to wash your hands after touching toads, they may seep some of the cemicals on your hands. Its better to safe then sorry

Just as long as they're not poisonous toads your aros should be fine.

Well, if you are NOT giving them the toads, and you CAN'T stop the toads from getting inside your pond, you should just wait for the best with crossed fingers. BTW, couldn't you put some sort of screen or mesh over and/or aroun your pond? Just wondering...

Best regards.
