Hi Narda,
I'm not sure what is eatting the lettuce, but I think you can rule out
the fish and tadpoles. They wouldn't be able to eat anything above the
water very well. Usually if the fish eat them there will only be little
pieces left.
It may be snails, but I would expect them to damage other plants in the
pond, as well.
Did you find anything after dark?
