    Note in your signature you keep L. uluguruensis. Those are all wild caught and have been known to carry Chytrid. Did you quarantine that frog, had it tested for Chytrid, and kept it's enclosure far away (i.e. not in same room and floor if possible) from the rest of your collection? Good luck !
    I've been very careful and always washing hands etc. between enclosures, but both species has been kept in the same room. I live with my parents so there was no other possible way.
    The L. Uluguruensis was in bad shape when I got him. He had both worms and protozoa which I've been treating him for, but the treatment for protozoa was unsuccessful so my vet is currently trying to figure out what treatment to try next. It doesn't seem like my other frogs has been contaminated by the parasites though (the vet looked at it today).
    I have not tested the Uluguruensis for chytrid, and he shows no signs of it but it's of course possible that he is a carrier. It's because of him I immediately suspected the other frogs may have gotten chytrid.

    So I brought the frogs to the vet today and they took some swabs that they're going to send to the lab. The result will come sometime during next week. When I was there one of the L. Caerulea looked like having red leg, but it didn't look as bad when I got home. That frog was also really upset and croaked all the time when vet was handling him, so I dunno if he was just uncomfortable in the situation or if it was else that also bothered him.


    I'm so grateful for your help guys!

    No matter what authorities report about your tap being safe for human use; myself would treat it with Seachem Prime or similar. Those symptoms also correspond to Toxic Out Syndrome (TOS) and your tap could be the cause of it.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
