i have a frog and koi fish they don’t eat the koi
You’re evil, leave the frogspawn alone.
I suppose you could always do what kids do. I.e. get a net, scoop out the frogspawn, stick it in a tub and take it down to a local lake to release it? That get’s rid of them before they hatch if you’re quick.
hi i have loads in mine to
Well is it affecting your fish or bothering them, not all the frogs will live and they wont all stay in that pond anywhey if its to cramped they will find the nearest other water area.
Just dont kill the frogs if they bother u so much, put the spawn and the frogs in a container and put them in the nearest pond etc, dont kill them!
Why would you want to kill it? Your fish will eat the majority, (v good for them) frog spawn is a sign of having a good, well balanced pond. There is no downside to having frogs in your garden and there is no good reason for you to needlessly kill it.
Raquelxoxo – you must have some kind of crazy killer frogs if your fish died, I have had frog spawn in my pond every year for around 15 years and the fish have never died. If there are too many frog spawn for the space they will eat each other and the fish will eat them. Your pond must be too small if there wasn’t enough oxygen. If there is alot then by all means take some out but don’t kill them all that’s just senseless.
You’ve got frog spawn.
I don’t believe that frogs (or their spawn) will do any harm to your koi, but, if you feel you mujst get rid of them you might try slipping some cloth under the spawn and then lifting them out.
It would be a kindness to remove them to another pond (they will die out of water), but you might choose some other way to dispose of them.
the jelly is frogspawn and you can just scoop it out. However i would reccomend you don’t as the frogs will leave when they are old enough but greater natural biodiversity (more species) will improve your pond ecosystem and make it a healthier place for your fish, also when the spawn hatches into tadpoles and also sometimes before your fish will eat many of them and they are a good source of food for fish. All in all i don’t see why you’d want rid of them.
Leave it, The fish will eat the spawn and love it.
Why kill those poor frog babies, they will not eat your fish, I’d think that it would be rather the fish eating the frogspawn or tadpoles.
Don’t kill the tadpoles. The resulting frogs will help keep your garden free of snails. They pose no threat to your fish.
Why get rid of the insect eating,music making,pond cleaning animals? Huh?
Likely if one pond has frogs another does as well, but I still wouldn’t move one life source to another body of water. I would check first before moving anything living to another environment to risk contamination.

Leave it, its actually a good source of food for your koi. Its natural, you have a pond, you can not NOT expect other animals to use it too.
You don’t know how lucky you are i have been trying for ages to encourage frogs into my fish pond. They are really good for your garden. Leave the spawn alone, it will hatch and some of the tadpoles will be eaten by your fish (good live food), the ones that survive will turn into frogs and most will leave your garden to find their own breeding place. You will probably find that some will return to breed again next year, but again leave them alone. They really will do no harm.
PLEASE- you have to get rid of them by scooping them out with a net or whatever you can! This happend to me 3 times last year- The first time I left the eggs alone, and when the tadpoles hatched, there were millions of them and my pond looked like pea soup- the tadpoles will use all the oxygen in the water and kill your fish! I had to completely drain my pond and start from scratch. When you hear froggs croaking at night- go outside and find them- get rid of the frogs so they wont get a chance to lay eggs- its soooo nasty!! This is the best way I have found to eliminate the problem- If you see a frog in your yard- kill it or send it to the gutter. If you don’t they will ALL be attracted to your pond and the sound of flowing water and one frog can lay millions of eggs! Remove the eggs with a net or a bucket- some will still probably hatch- but remove as many as you can ASAP- for the sake of your Koi!! Hope this helps!
Why do you want to kill all your potential frogs? Frogs keep the insect populations down. If you must, net out the egg masses. But frogs are good guys.
Your fish should eat them anyway!. If not please scooop them out and release at an local pond, As frogs when it comes to breeding season return to the place of birth even if there miles away!. Crazy i know!!.
im a person how loves frogs there so cute.but this problam is probably important to you so heres my idea.find all the frog eggs in there and put them in a glass bowl and it needs water in it.as soon as you have them in there bring them to a pond or lake.sins they havent hatched they probably wont come back.then every day check the pond for any other frogs in youre yard put them in a plastic container witch isnt see throw.then bring them back to that same lake.when there all gone check on youre pond about every day to make sure they dont come back.if they do come back get rid of them right away cause you dont want birds in youre yard or theyll eat youre fish.hope this helps.
I enjoy frogs and their spawn wonderful for grandchildren BUT I get an unfair dose of them the spawn last year was so great that it blocked my stream causing water loss therefore the fish did suffer. Also I had to rescue fish, amorous frogs were clinging to their heads and eyesockets this was a mammoth task and several fish did not survive so they DO harm fish
don’t kill them Imagen if you where a frog and there was a gigantic man or women coming to kill you and if all your children got killed as well you will never forget it.
