Frog spawn
 
Hi
I have found a large clump of frog spawn in my pond my question is will
this cause any harm to my fish as I probably have not got rid of it all
(taken to local pond)will the fish eat it and will it cause problems in the
filter.
Thanks

========================
Frog spawn wont hurt them. The tadpoles will clean up a lot of the algae on
your liner, rocks and plants.

Assuming it is frog spawn, your fish will most likely eat them. Now if it
is toad spawn, this could be a problem. Toad poles have a nasty taste, so
fish won't eat them, so if you had enough of them, they could overwhelm the
water system, and the toxic water could hurt or kill the fish. ~ jan
