    Humidity and temp levels seem ok. What are you measuring with? Does your thermometer record the daily high of the tank?

    This is acceptable, however, ventilation is a plus...

    I'd recommend misting with only R/O or spring water. If you are treating tap water, chances are you are spraying chemicals on your frogs.

    I get all of my ABG from Josh's, good stuff! Do you have leaf litter or moss covering the substrate?

    Very reputable source! I'd be willing to guarantee the issue doesn't have to do with their origin...

    The Bi Color was about 3 months old I'd say. I only had him for about a month
    Did all of your frogs come from Josh's? Are you putting then together in the same tank?

    I couldn't see them in the photo... Chances are that they are harmless nematodes.

    Good idea... I'd give it a good bleaching...

    Not sure, but they could be stressed... I'd keep them in species-specific tanks...

    Hope this helps...

    I have a digital hydrometer/thermometer

    Yeah I think this time around I'll add a partial screen top

    Yeah? I even let the water sit for a a day too... I even keep Axolotls in that water though they're pretty hardy

    Yeah I am going to see if I can attach a photo of their setup pre demolishion

    Yeah Josh/Zach is the man

    All of the frogs in my post have come from Josh

    That's what i thought but I have never seen them they looked like long skinny versions of fruit fly larvae

    Soaked in hot water and bleaching tomorrow

    Right now I have no choice as I am out of supplies and the 2.5 gallon is being used as a plant pot for plants I was going to add.

    Another variable I can only think of is I got plants about 2 months ago from Lowes but I bleach bathed them and let them sit for a while to get rid of pesticides. Probably too risky still.. I usually get all plants from Josh as well but I saw some cool looking ones. Oh well who knows? I am going to split those frogs as soon as I can when I setup the back ups back up.

    Only photo was one I had just sprayed down but you can see the essentials
