Hi Chris,
We would like to help, sorry you are having so much trouble.

* you need to remove a sick frog from an enclosure

Different species should not be mixed.

We need a lot more information! Please answer these questions so we can help you.

1-size of enclosure -{ 80 Gallon Bow Front Tank }
2-# on inhabitants - specifically ( if there is another frog ---size differences ?) { Atm 2, Todd (the White in question) and Thaddious (Golden Tree frog) they both are the same size, i did have 5 baby whites which all died overnght....they wer about quarter size while Taddious and Todd are about a silver dollar size....i kept an eye on potential size difference/aggression}
3-humidity - { 100% as i have a waterfall that flows 100% of the time }
4-temps - { between 75 - 80 deg F.....typically 78 deg F. }
5-water - type - for both misting and soaking dish { not needed as i have 100% water filtered through bio balls as well as 2 carbon filter pads, there is a soaking pad in enclosure....a 12" dish }
6-materials used for substrate { moss }
7-enclosure set up i.e. plants( live or artificial) wood, bark etc -how were things prepared prior to being put into the viv { i have 3 different types of live plants, all give adequate coverings and are stury enought for frogs to be climbing on them }
8-main food source {crickets fed Flukers's Orange cube complete cricket diet. Contains food, water, vitamins, and spiruluna }
9-vitamins and calcium ? ( how often ) {fed to crickets with the ocassional dusting of calcium on crickets }
10-lighting { 1 floruesent light bulb strip and 2 small blue led lights that mimic moonlight (only on at night) }
11-what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure { natural sunlight during the day and water temperatures are kept at 78 deg, no water heater or heat lamp is used, all done with humidity, water, circulation, and natural sunlight. }
12-when is the last time they ate { today, but during my scare last time they ate was the day before }
13-have you found poop lately {almost dailye, found some today }
14-a pic would be great ( including the frog ) any little cell phone pic is fine {will be included at end, i quarentined the frogs cleaned out the tank, did a water change and got rid of the moss.....found small amounts of mold growth....atm looking at possibly placing down a plastic false bottom them moss ontop of that, but still looking into that }
15- how old are the frogs {Todd is about a year old Yeah, he gets a birthday in August and im not sure about Thaddious as i got him from a reptile show at the size he is today, Thaddious is the golden tree frog. }
16-how long have you owned them {Todd since September, Thaddious since January }
17- are the frogs wild caught or captive bred { Todd is captive bred, and Thaddious' previous owner didnt know }
18- frog food- how often and if its diverse what other feeders are used as treats { Main food source is crickets, occassionally i feed them mill worms, and i fed them night crawler worms once }
19- about how often the frogs handled {only when tank needs cleaned so like once every 2 to 3 months }
20-is the enclosure is kept in a high or low traffic area {Medium to medium low, depends on the month }
21- describe enclosure maintenance ( water changes, cleaning etc) {water changewhen water appears dirty which isnt often, only have done 2 water changes since tank set-up in Sept. Once becuase tank needed it, other time becuase I moved them to a bigger tank, moss is changed about once every month to month and a half. }
22- has or were the frogs properly quarantined when you acquired them ( have they lived together the entire time you have owned them ) {They were propperly quarentined and have lived together since ownership, Thaddious was introduced into the tank in January, and James, jarod, Amber, Molly, and Adam (the 5 baby whites i just purchased in March) were quarentined for 1 week in a seperate tank to allow them to destress, then introduced to the tank and lived there for about a month. as i purchased them early March (yeah taxes) }
