Glen, never heard of it but I will certainly try to find it. Thanks so much.

Learned something new this week. A fellow ponder who has beautiful large fish lost 2 ponds of them overnight. 32 pairs of toads were breeding around her ponds and the toad sperm caused a spike in PH and she lost them. I had 7 pairs around my pond and didn't pay any attention to them but guess I should have. I had no problems with them though. We had a very hard rain and that brought them all out and ready to breed. Their racket that morning woke me up which is very unusual. Gal who lost fish was a long time experienced ponder and did all precautions right for spring startup. She said she had never heard of it before. Neither had I.

I found some strings of frog eggs in my larger pond and a Cuban Tree Frog swam away from them so I immediately netted them out with my finest net. I have 3 nets for different purposes and 1 net got them out thank heavens.

Learn something new every day. Happy ponding all.
Bonnie
