Red Eyed Tree Frog has eye problem!!!

yeah i know i dont feel moving the lesser injured of the two would be of help. Like i said before, there is hardly any glass for them to even bump into in the set up so i feel it would be very stressful to move them into a smaller container now. i am in contact with dr frye. about the other frog though and he will hopefully be able to help me out.

My case for sharing

Sorry for your loss! I have encountered similar problem before. I have brought a very beautiful female RETF in a local shop (Pic1).

After a week, she stopped eating, losing weight and discoloration (Pic2).

Few days later she died. I conducted an autopsy on it, and I found that (Pic3-9) more than several hundred nematodes living in the lung of the frog.

I just want to emphasize the importance of quarantine. Even though you thought that the newly acquired frog is in very good condition, you should separate it from existing collections and keep it in the quarantine tank to monitor the health of the frog for 1-3months (if possible conducting fecal examination and anthelmintics).

In your case, I think that your setting is fine. You just bought a sick RETF. And without autopsy, it is difficult to know the cause of death.

When a frog is sick other animals may prey or pick on it. Being in a tank with others is more than likely more stress than you handling it to put it into a quarantine tank.
If you do keep it in the big tank watch it closely. It is possible for bacteria, parasites, and other "problems" to infect the other animals also so be sure to watch them as well. It would be heartbreaking to have mass deaths, which is what I just went through with a new shipment although they were all quarantined separately once they arrived to me.
