Frog Eggs

[Priscilla]

We woke up to hundreds of frogs eggs in our two small ponds. Must have been a busy night with the rain last night.

I have red platy's, mosquito fish and guppies in those ponds. Will any of those eat the eggs? I seriously don't want hundreds of frogs around my front door.

I seriously don't want hundreds of frogs around my front door.

I'm not sure if those fish eat frog eggs, but having hundreds of frogs around your front door is a very unlikely scenario, or at least not for long. Some eggs naturally wont do anything. Then, many of the baby frogs will get eaten by predators, and most will find a new home in their first or second year. Frogs don't like being crowded. Of course, if it bothers you anyway, you can always just throw the eggs out.

I get thousands of eggs each year, we never are overrun by frogs, it all balances out

I was happy to see three little frogs in my pond today

Wish that would happen here at my pond Priscilla. I never get any frog eggs. I did have a few frogs one year that laid some eggs and hatched tads in my little bathtub pond. Guess they all turned into frogs and moved on cuz I don't have tons of frogs. Don't think you need to worry.

You need not to worry because all the eggs will not hatch and grown into frogs.

So far I have hundreds of tad poles. Its like the water is alive with them. Pretty creepy looking. I'm noticing some string algae, so I guess there's some water issues. Feeling quite concerned.
