After probably the worst 3 days my frogs have ever given me, in which the male was amplexing the female (and my filter intake) every chance he got, and once she would get away she would splash loudly across the surface of the tank as the male chased her, singing at the top of his lungs.... I had eggs... lots of eggs.
(sorry for some of the photos, my camera died, and the battery charger was missing, so I had to use my phone)
these were laid on the 12th between 5pm and 7:30 pm. I removed them to a 5 gallon bucket of dechlorinated tap water.
Earlier today, I added an airstone (at the recommendation of a breeder), and checked them in the afternoon around 3 pm, and some of the eggs look like little white C's.
12:30 am, I check the eggs again, and I have slightly bigger C's, they kind of remind me of tapeworms... blech. It's a little bit creepier when they flip around.
There's a pair with some weird looking "fuzz" them.
The current temp in the bucket is 74 degrees, but that feels really cold to me.... I don't dare raise it though, because so far, this is the only incubating temperature I've seen written down.
I thought I'd share this, and maybe some advice from more experienced tadpole "farmers" might be able to help. We're planning on keeping some, a few friends want one or two, and then another friend is willing to take whatever's left, providing there's enough of them that make it.
