    Hello,

    My albino african clawed frog appears to have just laid eggs! I have no idea what to do? Should i remove them from the tank that the mother is in? Will they hatch? Help! PLEASE!

    Do you have a male in the tank? If not, just clean them out of there and toss them.

    They aren't fertilized so they wont hatch.

    Yup. ACF mate with amplexus. To simplify it - the male hugs the female around the waist from behind, they swim around - his hugging "squeezes" out the eggs while they swim and he fertilizes them out side of her body while they fall to the nearest surface.
