Frog Pond?

We have a frog pond in our garden. Does anyone have any tips on attracting frogs to the pond? Are gold fish a good idea to eat fly larvae (not the frog eggs!)?





Here is some info and I have posted some pictures here: http://weblog.xanga.com/yahooanswerspict...





Construction: A circular bucket 40cm across,12cm deep set into the ground with a smaller dish flowing into it. The 2 containers have a layer of small pebbles. There are larger rocks set up in the larger container, stairlike up to the edge, a small fountain to circulate the water with mesh over the filter and 3 sticks over the top, all surrounded by more small pebbles, stones and bark.





Water: Just tap water.





Surrounding plants: The pond is over shaded by 2 small trees (Yellow Bottle Brush[Callistemon salignus] and Camellia Sasanqua).


Surrounding plants are:


-Giant Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum sp.)


-Blue Grass (Festuca glauca)


-Isolepis (Ficina nodosa)


-Wandering Jew (Not the weed!) (Tradescantia pallida)


-Lomandra (Lomandra longifolia)


-Jade Plant or Friendship Tree (Crassula ovata)


- Alocasia sp.


-Baby Sun Roses (Aptenia sp.)


- 2 small Banana Lilys (Nymphoides aquatica) growing in the water.
