    Default Worms in eggs

    I have tiny thread-like white worms in the eggs. What to do? Did they come from the adults or environment? Puzzled.

    FYI: These are the first dart frog eggs I've ever had. They are from my D. leucomelas orange and very happy that 1 of 3 survived. It's tail just straightened out and ready to leave the goo.

    Interesting, I would think the worms were passed from the parents, or possibly from uneaten feeders in the environment?

    The leuc. tadpole still has not developed limbs. Anybody got any ideas?
