yes diluted bleach can kill your frogs, if they come in contact with it... after i rinse with water in the bathtub for a few minutes, i fill up the containor with fresh water straight from the tub and let it sit for a few minutes. then i dump it all out and whipe it all clean. i smell zero bleach inside the tank and also have brought it around the house to make sure no one else smelled any either (just to make sure my nose wasnt already used to it from cleaning) and it has worked fine for me.
When cleaning the tank to rid it and the frogs of parasites that they are already infected with is standard quarantine procedure. Its different than regular tank cleaning, BUT if the tank has a powerful odor then their is no substitute for bleach to rid the tank of the odor and any stains.
