i got some asian greenback eggs again (Rana Erythraea) i saw an embryo hatched out and it was moving this morning and when i poked it this time it wont budge and got squished it was inside the jelly case where eggs are placed. i have them in a small container with cycled water and an airstone for it (weak power). Why did my embryo die???? i also took the egg out because i pitty them for they are being eaten by some other tadpoles and weird insects and wormies.
Frog eggs need soft water. This means that the mineral level of the water should be low. It is possible that the water is too hard( too much mineral content) and this is what killed the embryos. I can't be sure because I'm not there to see.
Tadpoles do sometimes eat other eggs and tadpoles if not Fed enough.
maybe.... but i see that the eggs are still fertile
Are you sure they were dead? I know some tadpole species have a tendency to sit still for a day or two. Just throwin' that out there, I really don't know anything about these frogs or why your tadpoles could be dying, other than what Grif has already stated.
Yup it's dead it's whitish in color and i can see the eyes even now they're dying but today changing water to a cleaner one(cycled also)
