I suppose their green leopard frogs based on their markings. About
2-3". I've never relly looked them up. I sort of thought it odd and
somewhat counter intuitive that the frogs would burrow in the pond
bottom but it wouldn't be the first time that a miracle of Mother
Nature defied logic. I just hate to fish them out in the spring and I
suppose I figure they must be good for keeping the bug population
down...not to mention the devastation my little girls go through when
we find them. I keep an air hole in the ice all winter and even kept
the water fall running all year this last year to help keep the ice at
bay to some extent. No problems with Ice dams. I also have minnows
and sun fish in with the gold fish and Koi. Does anyone know if
there's an issue with have these wild species in there with the
"domestic" fish.
=============================Make sure you have a way for the frogs to escape your pond. Something the
y
can climb onto to jump to shore.
