One dead ... Should I worry?

[Elliriyanna]

I recently purchased a trio of ADF, And while I was watching them last night I noticed one had an infected foot ( cotton fluff looking ... Obviously fungus) This morning I was adding some more water ( dechlorinated) and I found that one dead, the other two have been eating well but they are a very pale grey.

Should I worry about the other two? Is there a higher chance of them passing due to this one?

I purchased two ADF a while back and I have the same issue. I placed them into a very well established 20 gallon tank and ones foot basically rotted away in the same manner you described and the other frog which appeared healthy died one day later.

It was a total bummer, I have not bothered with these frogs since. It appears the mortality rate is high.

Hopefully your remaining frogs survive.

I think I am doing everything right, Live plants, bloodworms ( until I get frozen brineshrimp) 72 degrees ( its as high as my heater can keep it) I don't think his foot rotted ... They had him in with other animals.

I have hides and they are floating and stretching out and their typical froggy things.

They have a 35 gallon sponge I established in a 6 month old tank.

I am guessing if they all pass then I will have to completely sanitize everything, sponge, tank, Everything.

It's nothing you did directly, the frogs I purchased died in a 2 year old established tank (tons of live plants, driftwood with hiding spots, ect) in less than three days. These frogs simply have a high mortality rate from pet shops. 72F is pretty low to keep ADF at, 78F would be better if you could manage to raise the temps a bit.

My heater is being a butt ... I can't get my other one from my friend until next week.

The other two look ok but I don't have high hopes unfortunately

Just an update the survivors are still alive and eating well, One is still VERY pale however after a shed the other is looking healthier They get their plants very soon and should love their home when its finally finished
