Wow they are teensy little buggers and cute as a button!
They sure have big heads compared to their bodies.
Now tell me this do frogs grow bigger or do they just stay the same size for the type of frog they are?
I have no clue what kind they are, they might be some of the tree frogs. Sure are small, smaller then the tads in that pond. I think I will raise the water level, if the rain does not get it up high enough, so they can get out onto ground if they want to.

Thanks for the praise :) Always nice to get a pat on the back!
Those are the smallest frogs I have ever seen! Smaller than a drop of water! I have a few frogs around my pond, I've had one in my waterfall basin for days now. I don't know anything about frogs.....will have to look them up.

well went out to my pond to check filters and found this little guy and he did not make it sad to say and he had a really long flowing tail so must have been a fancy tail or butterfly.Hillsville flea market this year how would you like to grill on this .I bought 3 of the pigs going to put them in the yard by a water trough .They were 35 but he gave them to me for 20 dollars .I love the horse but that was 290 dollars .He wanted 450 dollars originally.Great buy but was still a little to much for me .I also got a big metal rooster and hen 20 dollars each .

baeya here is what mine looks like. When it is in the pond you can't see the noodle and I wanted something with a little more thickness to be sure it would hold the plants that I will put in it next year. I am planning on putting something that will vine over into the water and maybe some sort of annuals.

Tmann, what is holding the two ends of the noodle circle butted end to end? And how is the straight middle piece of noodle attached to stay there? I see the zip ties holding the rest. I like that idea a lot and you can't even see the noodle parts at all when floating!

JW the sides are held together with a 8" piece of 3/4" pvc pipe. The styrofoam in the middle is just laying there for now, but I will add a piece of skewer that is a few inches long and push through it to the other noodle. I had it in the pond for about a week just floating around to see what the fish might do to it and they did not bother it at all.
