Ponds
Quick answer
Ideally, fish should be kept separately as they're voracious predators of
spawn/tadpoles.
Further
information
Fish are predators of spawn and tadpoles/newt larvae and even
small fish can cause problems by competing with tadpoles for
food. For this reason we advise that you don't introduce fish to
your wildlife pond. If you would like to keep fish then
you will need to create a separate pond or perhaps a 'nursery'
area within the pond where the spawn and tadpoles will be
protected.
Frogs and toads can also cause problems for fish. During the
breeding season male amphibians grab hold of anything that
vaguely resembles a female - including fish, other species and
other males. Usually the fish is released unharmed but
occasionally, if it's held by the gills or for a long period of
time, it can die.
