Re: Yay first tad!
Don't misunderstand me. I am in no way condoning killing undesired frogs, but I feel that some people may take that course of action if they become overwhelmed. I think it is a possibility that he could end up with 50 frogs that nobody wants (I have 25 tadpoles right behind me from just a few months of breeding so it is definitely possible). It would be even worse if uninformed people actually DID want those frogs. Without knowing better they could continue mixing and selling, mixing and selling, etc. until the situation is much worse.
I have no ill feeling for him or what has happened. There was no way of knowing any better, but I do feel it is better to pull and dispose of any future eggs instead of taking a risk on becoming swamped with mixed frogs. The purpose of my first post wasn't to condone killing the mixed frogs. It was to provide insight so that would not even have to be an option in the future.
