Toad Tadpoles are (amphibians) mildly toxic and if enough are consumed, can kill your fish. Which is more than likely why xenia's Oscar did not actually eat them, but instead shredded them and spit them out. Yes, tadpoles can carry salmonella, as can your fish. It cannot be transmitted, however, to your fish through consumption. Tadpoles cannot catch or carry ich because they are amphibians. Also, why the hell would you even think of paying $1/feeder? Might as well buy Neons. (Or just feed Massivore, Market Shrimp, Squid, etc.)


Happy to help.
