Fish or Frog?

[Andy41]

Hi Guys,

Today i discovered two things in the pond.

1. A Frog, unfortunately no picture of him.
2. A load of eggs attached to a plant.

This is the first time we've had eggs, and if i hadn't of seen the frog i'd assume they're fish eggs, but now i'm not certain. The eggs are laid in lines on a plant and you can just make out the first stage of the embryo.

Can anyone say if this is fish or frog?

cheers,

Andy

I think frog .That's what mine looked like .But mine were toads ,caught the culprit and relocated her and took her eggs to a creek .

Sounds like frog eggs.

because the dots are black, I'd have to say they're frog or toad eggs.

I vote for toads, they lay eggs side by side, frogs just dump them into the water and they float near the top in a jelly mass.

Toads.

It's a tie: Frogs - 4
Toads- 4
Undecided- 1
Anyone else care to weigh in?

You had to be there, it was a private joke between me and myself....................ha, ha you called us toads after we all gave our replies..................get it.............oh never mind

ok, thanks guys. So Toads or Frogs.... but definately not fish?

I'm guessing the Koi will eat the spawn/tadpoles anyway, so i think i'll leave it in place for now. It's fascinating watching them grow anyway.

cheers,

Andy.
