Scum Nest in Fountain
« on: May 25, 2017, 06:43:22 AM »
Several times I have found a scum in my fountain and thought it was dog vomit.  Today I discovered the pics and now believe it is some kind of nest or egg sack. 

Anyone know what it's from?

Yep, it's from a frog. They start doing that when the rainy season starts. We also have to get rid of a couple of them from our pond every morning.

Yes. I have had a couple on my pool around the ladders. Didn't happen last year but this year twice in the last week. Dint know it was frogs so now that I do, less concerning. Thanks for the info.

BTW, normally after 2-3 days my water gets greenish, I can't use chemicals as the TW stocked fish in the fountain.  Five days ago I added a 36W UV algae light and it appears to be working as you can see the 5 day old water in the pics.

Finally found the Thai Name for it. เขียดตะปาด

And here a link with Google Images of it ;) https://goo.gl/KOXqeX

Well I think I found the culprit species.  If you look close there are actually 2 frogs.
