Multiple tree frog passings-help please

[elly]

Hey, I'm sorry. In the future, it would be a good idea to keep any new frogs in a separate tank for a while before putting them all together.

I'm afraid I can't help you with knowing the problem, but if you have an exotic vet in your area, I'd try to get your remaining frog checked out and also clean out your tank. It's a pain, but it might help.

I'm very sorry for the loss of so many frogs. In my opinion, it's not a good idea to keep different species together. All frogs, to my knowledge, technically excrete a toxin of some kind. While they may be harmless to us, another frog species may not be so lucky and it could affect them negatively. I'm not sure about the details of RETFs and Morelets or if the amphibian community has tried and successfully kept them together, but I would personally prefer to play it safe with my animals and not mix them.

As for the Axolotls, I find it strange to try and keep them in a tank with frogs. I'm pretty sure they need cooler temperature water? It seems to clash with the frogs' warmer climate needs.

Axolotls produce a tremendous amount of nitrogenous waste. Have you tested the water in the paludarium for ammonia, nitrites, nitrates and ph? Water conditions may have played a role in addition to a likely bacterial infection. It’s always prudent to quarantine new animals and keep different species separate. I’d isolate the remaining frog in separate vivarium ASAP and monitor it closely.
