Last night we were kept awake ALL night long by the incessant mating calls of about 25 frogs in our pond. We captured them and released them down the street near a drainage pond at 3:30am in hopes of quieting the house down. However, as I type this I have been on several more *capture & release* trips and they are still popping up so I feel like my efforts to get some peace & quiet are futile..
I noticed the thousands of eggs this morning and rather than get sucked into the vast universe of Google, wihch immediately told me that the frog eggs will kill my fish if they eat them, I came here.
So which is it, friend or foe?
I'm thinking these were some kind of toad.
The eggs are little black specks in rows all throughout my pond plants.
Is there a way to easily remove the bulk of the eggs? That seems like an overkill of tadpoles in the near future, and my ponds aren't that big,
Will they or won't they harm my as either eggs or tadpoles?
I know they're part of the pond owner life, but I'm not really a fan of noisy, horny toads everywhere keeping us awake. The pond is right outside my poor son's room!
Thanks all! This forum is quickly becoming my favorite place to ask questions. You have all been so gracious!
