Toad tadpole eggs in my outdoor gold fish fountain/how to get rid of
I have an outdoor fountain with comet goldfish, fountain base is 15 gallons, I have seagrass and last night a toad frog laid string upon string of eggs in the seagrass. Is there anyway to remove/kill the tadpole eggs are should I just go replace seagrass.?
Doubt if the seagrass would survive a boiling pot of water so I'm clueless as to how to get rid of the tadpole eggs. Tadpoles will of course dirty up the water a lot so they've got to go. Will the comet goldfish just end up eating the tadpole eggs? Last edited by Texas transplant : 06-08-2011 at 09:11 AM. Reason: add |

Re: Toad tadpole eggs in my outdoor gold fish fountain/how to get rid of
I'd bet money the goldfish eat the tadpoles.
I know it's slimy, but you can remove the eggs by hand. If you decide to go that route, please consider transplanting them to some nearby cow pond or other stagnant body of water. That is, unless you enjoy mosquito bites...

I dont think the tadpoles will last very long with the goldfish.They may slurp the eggs too.

Re: Toad tadpole eggs in my outdoor gold fish fountain/how to get rid of
I agree with Robert The Fish, most of the tadpoles or eggs should get eaten, but you can remove the eggs by hand and throw them in a pond or creek.
