I had several small tadpoles in a tank- each less than 1/2 ich long. I added 2 goldfish who promptly ate all the tadpoles. One goldfish died, the other thrived. I suspect the one goldfish died from overeating but I can't rule out parasites, bacteria or other problems from the tadpoles although I would have expected the other to get ill as well. I guess the one certain thing is that if you like the tadpoles, don't add goldfish. S.
