hi There...
It could be that they are Neotenous tadpoles. In rare cases you may encounter 'neotenous tadpoles'. These are taddies that are unable to metamorphose and often continue to grow. In some cases up to 4 inches long. Please let Froglife know if you find tadpoles this length in your pond. It could be that they might be an exotic species.
Please also download the PDF information sheets @
