Frogs in my pond!

Post by IndefactorX »

yah, i'd guess its frog mating season, but they really like my pond and 2 of them decided to have their children in my pond and left a really long string of eggs behind, about how many of these little metamorphic fishies can i expect to have floatin around and how long do you think they'll take to hatch, and what kind of fish is a good idea to keep in the pond that will eat the eggs or even the tadpoles because my koi are only about 2 inches and my channel cats about 5 inches
I dont want my pond to be over run by frogs

"Pond run over by frogs"..... :roll: :shock: :shock: :shock:

THAT's a new one! Most people would kill everybody in the same room for a pond that's THAT healthy! (or for a cold beer)

But your problem is already solved; the Channelcat will eat all the tadpoles, and within a year or two, both the adult frogs and all the other fishes as well :cry: :cry: :cry:

Algae shouldn't affect the eggs in any way. Depending on species, the eggs will take anywhere from 2-20 days to hatch.
