Frogs

... Fun! Reminds me when we set up tadpole nurseries in all the second grade classrooms to save a population of eggs and taddies and canoodling adults who had chosen a pool cover for their nursery. Was wild. Neatest thing was the day I came in to take care of the tank and the kids told me there was a fish in amongst the tadpoles. Are you sure? Sure enough, a tiny fish was swimming in the tank. I figure he came in, as an egg, on the anacharis I bought for the tank. We named him Egghead and when the baby froglets were released he came home to live in my son's tank. k :-) Fish eggs and fry can be sneaky, all right. I'm setting up a new 55 gallon aquarium. Tonight I noticed babies! From where?? There are no (zero) fish in there. But I have been moving plants around, and one of the source tanks has three Glowlight Tetras, which are egg-scatterers. I won't know for awhile if that's what I have, but it was quite a shock. Back to ponds: I started doing a serious cleaning of my inground pond today. Several pots have fall over so the water is dirty with, well, dirt. I'm doing this gradually. Scooping out water by bucket for several days (replacing with fresh water each day, of course), and eventually I'll get more aggressive, with a shop vac or Python (if that's what it's called). Several potted plants (marginals) are infested with weeds and I'll probably just take them out. I have more than enough floating plants or plants that grow even though they're not in pots (like my hardy lily). Gail near San Antonio TX |
