    Unhappy Found Frog eggs in Swiming Pool help?

    We had a huge storm last night and tons of different looking frogs and toads piled into my grandparents pool and had a spawning frenzy.
    I managed to get all the frogs and toads out and salvage a few eggs (I know there was no way they would survive in a chemical filled pool).
    Could they still be viable? Would there be anyway I could hatch these eggs and return the babies to the wild?
    I adore frogs and toad and know how big of a part of the ecosystem they are and it just seemed a waste to leave all the eggs to die.
    They still have their slime coat.

    I have them in a bucket with dechlorinated water. I've added some vitachem because I know dechlorinated tap water doesn't have their bacterial and vitamin needs.
    Should I add a air stone?
    I'm a avid fish keeper would my fish tanks water be better for these eggs and should I use it instead of tap?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I have no idea what species they are only that they were in clumps and the eggs are half dark brown and half light brown.

    Welcome to the forum Jokerfest! It wouldnt hurt to keep them for a while, dechlorinated water should do or fish water can do. im not sure what an air stoe is though. I think it would be kind of risky returning the egmasses back to the wild, i would rear the eggs untill they hatch and turn to tadpoles and get their back legs.

    Hey Ryan,
    Thank you for the welcome!
    I plan to keep them until they are frogs if they hatch I hope the chemicals in the water didn't hurt them to badly.
    A air stone is something fish keepers use to circulate water I wasn't sure if frog eggs need circulation as fish eggs do.
