Hi, I have had a pond now for five years, and for the past four have had a number of frogs laying their spawn, however, every year, including this, none has survived. each year the same result, white spots on the black egg. Any idea's why, and how can I prevent this happening next year,
many thanks for any guidance and advice. Des

Not got a clue with this one, unless possible water issues.
I can vaguely remember reading somewhere about some fish foods causing issues with frogspawn but was a few years back now. Shall still try to find the article.

I've no idea about this either. Might be some kind of fungal infection on the eggs.

Do none of them hatch??
