Also its illegal to release native and non native wildlife no matter where its from and why cant you catch feeder fish or buy thoe cheap goldfish.I hear bad stuff about GF but if you qt and fed nice diet they can be a very helpful tool in your fish keeping arsenal
I dont release anything and i know it illigal

You very clearly stated that you released the tadpole back into the lake, after it had been in your tank...this is illegal in many areas and is highly irresponsible in any case. You could introduce an exotic disease or parasite, comprising an entire ecosystem.
Hey man, relax. We're all friends here, alright? I'm just tryin' to offer a hand. You seem to be really into your fish. Enthusiasm is good. I'm trying to be a good dude and look out for the best interests of you, AND the fish... and the Tadpoles. I have a soft spot for Tadpoles, as I keep herps myself, Frogs included.
If you're looking for a good diet for your Jag, then Tadpoles are not the way to go. Honestly, it wont be stuck on live feeders. Cichlids need a good varied diet. Personally, I'd recommend Hikari pellets (carnivore-type when small, massivore-type when large) plus frozen (or occasionally live) brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, bloodworms, as well as the occasional earthworm tail or cricket or piece of Tilapia fillet. Larger feeder animals, like Amphibians and fish, create a higher risk for parasites, as well as being a bit of a waste of a life. I'm not just full of hot air... that is the diet on which I am raising my favorite fish I own, my Pike Cichlid.
Good luck with your Jag. They're awesome fish. I hope he does well for ya, and I hope you dont take this as me taking a shot at ya.
Every once in a while I feed my gar live minnows that I catch. I hear that it's good for your fish to give them live food like bugs or fish (healthy of coarse, not goldfish) because it offers them a challenge. Don't quote me on that though. I heard someone else say it on hear. Also I'm talking like once every 1-3 months. Also my LMB ate a tadpole once and didn't mind it. when I was little I used to have a big red tail shark and one day I put 3 tadpoles in the tank to raise and he ate all three.
