Is No More Algae Liquid killing my frogs?

Question

We have a 100 gal pond we put in last year. It is one of the plastic premolded ponds from a hardware store. This year we put in two gold fish but we were never able to see them cause of algae. Pond is shallow and in full sun. So I bought this No More Algae stuff yesterday in hopes of clearing up our pond and this morning one of my frogs that live in the pond is dead. Does this stuff kill my frogs? I would really rather keep the frogs then have a clear pond.

Thanks so much for the help with this.

that's for the diuron....

you can look up the copper sulfate.... tho I've used it as Bordeaux mixture and it says not to get it anywhere near water,....... so I'd guess that it's prob not good for anything that lives IN water, either....

a pond needs time to get 'balanced' before fish are added... that way, you can treat the water to get it clear without the chance of hurting anything living in it..... some folks work with a pond up to a year before adding fish..... see, if you feed the fish, you contribute to the algae having food, too... you need to shade 60% of the pond surface to starve out algae.... and you need a filter that is able to trap the suspended algae....

there's more to it than just 'add water'......
