Hi Lawcrusher, male frogs attach themselves to female frogs so that they are their ready for the spawning. They can by accident and amphibian stupidity attach themselves to fish. This can be detrimental to the fish by detaching scales or maybe an eye if the detachment is severe, maybe the fish becomes irritated and tries to remove the said amphibian by colliding with objects or pond walls. The acctive ingredient in barley straw can be bought with instructions so that you can control its effects easier. I've had some experience with Japanese koi and I would advocate the erradication of frog infestation!
