My first pond (pics)

And freeze them yeah! I think I rather clean the the slime in the pond than hear my wife ask me "honey, what is this in the freezer bag?"

Freeze them? The toad or the eggs? Both?

Another thing that gets annoying in my area is the number of cane toads who feel that my pond is some sort of amphibian 5 star resort

Never had that problem myself -and happy about that-but my pond is elevated o i think that helps

The toads. Once the eggs are in the water you're not getting them out... only a complete water change will do it.

 

[REDDAWG43]

Couldn't you just pour some salt on the toad? That would be an easier method of termination than freezing.

:lol: My wife would kill me if I put a toad in the kitchen fridge. I euthanize them in my beer fridge in the Garage.

Any other euthanasia methods tend to be a bit in the gory side... I already feel bad enough about freezing them...

 

[REDDAWG43]

lol...ok I got ya.
Thats what I was trying to avoid. My wife would flip.
When I had a ton of snakes, my wife found thier food, the frozen mice (bought that way) and she has never recovered....lol

I heard that you can spread some type of salt around the pond to keep out the toads, I am about to try it.

 

[LouPhoenix]

Till it rains...everyday... lol.

 

[Fish2reef]

I was thinking rock salt for it to last longer.

 

[LouPhoenix]

Let us know how it works out... if it can keep the toads out without killing them it would be great.

Roger, congrats on your new endevor... I have been busy with work so have not been on reef central for a while so just saw this now.

You may not know this but I have a kidney shaped pond that measures about 10ft in length 3 ft deep and 5 ft wide with 13 koi in it if you have any questions or need help please let me know
