Good info, bad info. Some of the spawn will be eaten, but not enough. Birds as well will pick. Once they have turned into frogs most will leave your little pond. Frogs will not remain in a densly populated area and most will leave in search of a Bigger pond. (Don't be suprised if only a few stick around.
Birds, snakes and other animals will also eat some of your frogs.
Yes it is good for your garden, and unless it is a real problem, you can just let them stay. Many will never change into frogs and will die off.

Your fish will love the frog spawn as a live food treat. Why would it be good for the garden? You can't remove it from the pond, that's illegal. If you don't want frogs in the pond put a net over it to keep them out.

Some of your frogs will be eaten by the fishes. The others which survive, The survivors will eat all the flies and slugs (The ones which eat your garden and disturb you) . So your frogs will be beneficial to the garden
Theres just one drawback. Your frogs would make a lot of noise, Therefore you wont be having a sound sleep or be able to work properly. On the whole, your frogs will be beneficial for the garden.

Unless you keep large fish lick koi the chances are very Little of the spawn Will be eaten ,about 90% of the spawn will develop into frogs and even those that survive the first year will be back to spawn next year. Five mating pairs this year could lead to fifty plus mating pairs next year,do yourself a favour put the spawn in a bucket and throw the spawn into the local canal. frogs always return to the place they hatched.

Well, it depends on the fish. If you have an "overpopulated" pond, then I doubt you'll have tadpoles surviving to maturity. If you have smaller fish, then some tadpoles might survive and you'll have frogs croaking at night. It's actually a very peaceful sound. And they eat bugs that might be harful to your garden, so I would reccomend keeping them.
Frog eggs as fertelizer? Where'd you get that idea? lol, frog spawn is definately not good to put on your garden.

they fish may eat the spawn, maybe not all of it, but if you dont want any of the spawn eaten you could try putting some netting in the water to prevent the fish getting to the spawn. otherwise, it is nature, some will get eaten,some mill survive. give your fish some extra food so that they might eat that and not the frog spawn.

Your fish will eat some of it. When the tadpoles hatch, not all will survive - fish will eat some, some will just die, and they'll even eat each other. Even those tadpoles which survive to maturity and become frogs face lots of hazards.
As for being good for the garden - the ultimate result, frogs, will help clear the garden of slugs, so I guess it is, as long as you leave it where it is!

Your fish will eat some of the frogs.
However, a lot of them will wind up as baby frogs hopping around your yard.
You can use it for fertilizer if you so choose.
