What to do with ADF eggs

[Megabeth]

In less than 2 weeks of having my wonderful froggies, i now have a tank full of eggs. I don't want to deliberately try and hatch them, it just seems like too much work. What should I do with them? From what I've seen they look to be about 2 days old. Thanks, I have no idea what I'm going to do with them lol.

If you don't want to deal with tadpoles and more frogs, don't feel obligated to do so. I had a bunch of fish fry and didn't feel like dealing with them, so I used them as food for other fish.

Let nature do it's thing? Maybe 1 or 2 will survive, maybe several, maybe none. You don't have to really be hands on if you don't want to be. Odds are most of the tadpoles will get sucked into the filter at any rate.

I agree, you could just let them go and see what happens. A lot of the time the frogs will eat the eggs themselves, probably eat many tadpoles, and they’ll get sucked in the filter, etc. Or you could feed the eggs to any other fish you have

Ok sounds good. Maybe later down the road ill try to hatch some but not right now. How often can they lay eggs? I have one female and 2 males.

In the wild they typically only breed in the spring time, especially rainy season, but in captivity (provided the conditions are right) they will breed year round. One of the best ways to trigger breeding is lowering the waterline over the week (like a week-long water change) and then filling up with cooler water at the end of the week to simulate a rainy season after a dry season.

They will eat the eggs. And if they miss any eat the tadpoles that hatch. In a few days you might see a few swimming around.
