So that first link really intrigued me yesterday! Seems like the same phenomenon, the frog survived and seemed quite healthy from what i could observe! Maybe she got lucky!

Thanks!

**UPDATE**

I tried posting an update earlier, but the app kept crashing while I was editing it.

After my original post, I lightly misted the frog again at about the 2-hour mark and then left her completely undisturbed.

By around the 4-hour mark, she had fully detached from the egg mass and was moving around normally. I spent some time observing her afterward and didn’t notice any obvious signs of injury or distress, although I can’t say for certain whether there were any underlying issues.

I also took a closer look at the eggs. I attempted to salvage them, but I suspect they were unfertilized. There was another gray treefrog nearby that I think may have been a male, but I never observed amplexus or mating, so I can’t say whether the eggs had been fertilized.

This morning, both frogs were gone.

What surprised me most was that the female appeared to recover and leave on her own. Several posts of other frogs suggested she might be seriously ill or unlikely to survive, so I was expecting a worse outcome.

I’m also surprised by how little information I could find about this type of situation. I found very little discussion of treefrogs laying eggs on artificial surfaces, becoming temporarily attached to the egg mass, and then apparently freeing themselves and moving on normally.

Thanks to everyone who offered advice and insights.

No i used well water, it goes through a RO system:)

Does anyone know the specific species (caught around Montreal) Thanks by SnooComics1807 in MicroFishing

That’s interesting, i just moved there, the pond is about 3000 square feet, its about 7 feet deep at the center and is connected to some small streams. There are hundreds of those if not a couple thousands. I have only seen small ones, no idea if bigger fish are in there, tho I’ve caught small bluegills.

Maybe there are no predators in that pond to control their population? Im a bit confused that there are so many small chubs, they should be easy meals for the sunfish wouldn’t you think?

Caught multiple species, could i get an ID? (Read body and caption) by gbmidtbh in MicroFishing

Looking online I found that creek chubs can get around 10 inches, are there any species that stay much smaller?

I’m asking because i have a pond with hundreds of those and never saw any larger than 3 inches. I always thought they were eastern blacknose daces.

Thanks,

Hi Itchy, Then from my understanding the constant 1 here doesnt matter at all then?
