This last spring I experienced tadpoles and Adrovanda together and here are
my observations. After the tadpoles finished off the alagae in my tub they
started in on the Aldrovanda - they don't prefer it but they will eat it.
I had plants that were 2 to 3 inches long, but after a couple of weeks with
tadpoles and no algae I only had 1/2" long well eaten plants. After this
the tadpoles developed into frogs and the plants completely recovered in a
realtively short time. But I think if the tadpoles hadn't developed into
frogs then I might have lost some of my Androvanda. Think about it.
