today i was pruning lillies and such and decided to disconnect the hiacynth runners as i picked up one plant i noticed eggs..i didnt look any further but there was alot on this one plant root. they are a orangey copper color, translucent, but different color than ive seen yet. they look like fish eggs but i dont know what frog eggs look like either,so any body know? i did remove a goldfish (i think, i only saw the tail) from inside the ring.
theres definately something fishy about this forum!

hmm never seen orange eggs like that. My frog eggs were black and some looked oblong. It didn't take long for them to be tadpoles. They made great fish food and did an awesome job of keeping the liner algea free.

Does your camera have a Macro setting? If it does, delete these and use it. You will find the pictures will be in focus if you are still when you shoot it. Anything shot closer than 18" requires the use of Macro.
