by the way there in my pond not in my tank and there attached to my gold fish problem is dont know wich chems i can use without harming the frogspawn and stuff

salt or copper.
1 heaped tablespoon of salt per 20litres of water should do the job but don't use salt if you keep corydoras catfish or discus.

otherwise anything with copper in it. Most snail killers usually work on them as do some fluke and tapeworm killers for fish.

Not sure about how to get rid of them in a pond, but id go for the salt method

are you sure they are leeches on the fish and not anchor worm or something else?
leeches are generally black, anchorworm are white
got a picture of them?
