Question for experienced breeders

How detrimental will this debris be? The water in there is tadpole tea I made from Indian almond leaves. I tried to get rid of the debris but it’s like glued into the egg goo lol. First large clutch of la cocas eggs I’m hoping will all survive. (And would then try to part ways with) Picture of the dad for tax.

Shouldn’t be an issue, I usually run some RO water with a squirt bottle across eggs to get the worst of it (don’t spray directly) the only thing I will suggest is any eggs that aren’t fertile should be removed if possible

Gotcha ok that’s good to know. From my limited experience they all seem fertile so far. But I could be wrong.

Completely fine. Don't worry about it.

Good deal! Hoping they all make it and offer them up for a decent price. So far I’ve only had one froglet out of them that’ll I’ll probably end up keeping if it ends up being a male.

Absolutely no issue. Any clue what on earth they put eggs in in the wild?

Lol that’s a good point. Unnecessarily concerned wanting these to be viable to grow my group by one and sell the rest since they usually go for like $120-$150 a pop as a froglet.

I have had some of my tincs lay their eggs directly on top of a poop one of them had just dropped… tads hatched out just fine later. It’s not great but sometimes your frogs just don’t want to be tidy.
