Breeding season: October to November. Males call from concealed floating vegetation within waterbodies. Breeds in permanent dams, flooded ditches or grasslands.

Breeding season: July to October. Males call from concealed floating vegetation within waterbodies. Eggs (pigmented) are found individually or in loose clumps, scattered around the bottom of ponds. Eggs and tadpoles can be found in ponds, dams, swamps, flooded grasslands and ditches.

Breeding season: Early spring to summer. Males call from concealed floating vegetation within waterbodies.

Breeding season: autumn and spring. Females lay 560-935 pigmented eggs within long jelly strings around submerged vegetation.

Breeding season: late winter to early spring. Females may lay pigmented or unpigmented eggs within a foam raft, hidden in aquatic vegetation.

Breeding season: autumn, spring-summer. Females lay 80-1500 pigmented eggs within a floating foam mass.
