Sorry for your loss but it's impossible to guess without some information.

I agree -
when were the eggs laid and how long have they been morphed?
size of the tank?
what did you feed them and how often?
what is their water temperature?
how do you do your water changes? - how much water removed and how do you remove it and what do you treat the water with?
do you know your readings for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH?

the eggs were laid in july and they changed to froglets about three weeks to a month ago

size of tank is 20 gallon

i feed them frozen blood worms 2-3 small cubes a day sometimes 4 depending on how hungery they act and my females eat a lot more and faster than my males
(HOWEVER)...the day before they started dying. i was out of the frozen blood worms and i have a worm farm set up for my adult acfs so i cut some up and feed them to the babies

tem. between 80-82

i change the emtire tank water using a water hose that i drain into my bath tub and then i wipe down the tank with a sponge rinse tank then fill back up with new water about twice a week
i treat the water with AQUA SAFE and EASY BALANCE

ive never done readings for any of my tanks


* I noticed that the tank was becoming cloudy so i used a CLEAR WATER SOLUTION.*

THE THREE THINGS I ONLY DID DIFFERENT....FEEDING THEM RED WORMS FROM MY HOME WORM FARM, USING THE CLEAR WATER SOLUTION AND I HAD BEEN OUT OF MY EASY BALANCE FORMULA.


since i put fresh rain water out of my rain water collector outside...I HAVE NOT LOST ANY MORE BABY ACFS.

thank you
