    As i said earlier just to filter water and let it sit is not enough, chlorine nowadays is more stable and doesnt evaporate, filters do their job but even the best of those is not enough. You have to use water conditioner for all water.

    The other part of the problem was quarantine. You have to do fecal for all newly purchased frogs and treat them if needs to be. I always recommend to do chytrid testing at the same time. Based on what you are saying she might have had parasite load and stressed too.

    Would you be able to post pic of their enclosure to point if smth is off

    Here is the requested picture of their enclosure. The area with the purple thing in the water has since been filled with large (1-2 inch) aquarium stones. add two months of plant growth too.

    What could have caused stress is that your tank is pretty open and small for 4 red eyes. I would consider bigger tank and more stuff in it, especially from the sides.

    4----size of enclosure ( W" x D" x H" )4 foot tall, 2 foot wide, 18 inches deep.
    I agree that the tank is pretty open, but unless the dimensions listed above are inaccurate (which could very well be, I am unfamiliar with that tank brand and wouldn't personally know,) it should be plenty big enough for 4 red eyes.
    2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"
    2.2.0 Agalychnis callidryas "Red Eyed Tree Frogs"

    0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
    0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"
