Default Tadpole care question

We had an invasion of frogs and toads in our pool a few days ago....We waited 5 days late on adding chlorine. I found some tadpoles and instead of killing them all when the pool was shocked I tried to net some out. Many died from the stress of being netted but I saved about 15 and also some eggs, of toads and a few frogs ( cuban Tree frogs I think)
I have the tadpoles in a goldfish bowl and I put some lettuce in there and also took about 3 flakes of tetra min and ground it with water and made a slurry which I dissolved in the water, they are growing and I think eating this. some of the eggs I put in there have hatched and others are growing. I changed the water 1/3 cup this afternoon and everyone seems fine. I look at them with a jewelers loop as some are the tinyest tadpoles I have ever seen.
If somone could give me some advice on care it would be great, I tried to save them but its really hard trying to net them out of a huge inground pool. But I thought it would be fun to see if they can grow.

Thanks for any suggestions
