Hello, I have new red eye tree frogs! And we have issues...

Welcome to the forum...you've come to the right place. Please check out the care article on the left. Your temps are fine but the humidity is a little too high to keep them at all the time. I keep mine around 60 sometimes 70. They will prefer no night light on at night and I would try to do that for at least the next 30 days so that they can settle in and relax. I would stop seeing that vet as he obviously doesn't know anything about frogs and may have been the cause of your frogs death. Your frogs should be a bright lime green in the daytime and dark green at night. The white dots are normal markings for red eyes and will vary from frog to frog. Your tank should be densely planted using up as much of the vertical space you can. You should have a couple of water bowls for them to soak in each night. Change the water Every morning. Theyre main diet will consist of small to medium cricket....dust the crickets with vitamin/calcium powder. Treat their soaking water with water conditioner. They don't seem to like worms. They are actually very easy frogs to care for. When you get a chance why don't you post a picture of their tank. Hope this helps.

The vet and I assumed they are parasites, because the frog had almost sudden wounds all over his belly. Nothing had changed in the tank and the frog hand not been handled in over a week. I'm going to inform him about the white spots being freckles, he is inexperienced with the frogs, but he's very curious and would love to learn. I'm glad I have nothing else to worry about!
I'm going to keep the two pairs separated for at least a month because I am afraid of the parasites. The vet had asked for a fecal test for the frog who died today, I'll collect one from one of the seemingly healthy frogs. I didn't take any pictures of the sick frog, he is the second one from the same shipment to die with the same symptoms.

I'm using reverse osmosis water for them, and I change it everyday. I feed crickets which are dusted.

How often do you recommend I clean the tanks completely?
