if the tadpoles will fit in the goldfish mouth then they will try and eat them

I dont think they would harm each other, my main concern is that a Biorb isnt sufficient enough for either a tadpole or a goldfish. The filtration isnt good enough and the biorbs are not big enough.

One goldfish needs 30 gallons of water to maintain a healthy fish. 10 gallons extra is then needed for each additional goldfish, this is on top of the 30 gallons. Also because goldfish produce a lot of waste you need some heavy filtration.

I wouldnt put tadpoles in with pet Goldfish for the following reasons –

1- Tadpoles are wild animals that may possibly carry dangerous parasites or ailments that could cause illness or worse kill your fish.
2- Your Goldfish are at the end of the day Goldfish! They will most probably try their very best to eat the tadpoles!
