You will see the male collecting the fry and blowing them back into the nest when they make little dashes away from the it. Once you can see that he is constantly on the chase collecting them they are in danger of being eaten in his frustration. Then is the time to remove him.

Should a duck with eggs be separated from male ducks?

First of all, male "ducks" are called drakes. If the female is currently laying on her eggs trying to hatch them, it should be fine to leave the male around. If she's not take away the eggs from her. Unless they are fighting the male is fine.

A young hen laid eggs by my house and I accidentally scared her off her nest She did not return right away and her eggs froze Now she is back on them Should I take the eggs away?

If they froze solid then there is little point in allowing her to waste the next 21 days trying to hatch non viable eggs. If you remove the eggs she will start to lay more to replace them or go off brood altogether. If the eggs merely got cold then she may continue to brood with only some reduction in a full hatch.

Do fish eat frog eggs?

They won't eat frogs. They will probably nibble on the eggs, so it's unlikely you'll get baby frogs. You may want to remove the eggs and then put them back in when they hatch into tadpoles (they might still get eaten, but they'll have a fighting chance!).


Do female betta's have to stay away from there eggs?

Both male and female bettas will eat eggs, so it's a good idea to watch them closely during spawning. As each batch of eggs are released, the male, and sometimes the female as well, will gather the eggs by mouth and spit them into the nest. Once they have finished mating, you should remove the female immediately or the male will probably kill her - in nature he would drive her away, but the aquarium is too small for her to get away from him. Many males are good fathers on their first attempt, and will hover beneath the nest, picking up any eggs that fall and replacing them - leave a light on for him so that he can see the eggs as they fall from the nest. Remove him once the fry hatch. If you see him eating eggs or fry (as many inexperienced fathers will do) remove him and drop the water level in the breeding tank to one inch - once the fry are free-swimming and feeding, you can refill the tank.
