I think my ADF's got the fungus

I have lost almost all my African Dwarf Frogs. They were all doing fantastic now one by one randomly dying. The little one is back in hiding I think, and I believe last big one is not doing well. This ones eyes are looking a little cloudy and thought it was dead then hopped out of the net. Ottos are fine , and none of the frogs had signs of injury. Checked water good did water change anyway. I don't know

 

Sorry to hear about your frogs. Could you give us more information on the symptoms that they are displaying before they die?

 

I'm so sorry.
As Megan said, more info would help.

What are the readings for ammonia nitrite and nitrate?
I see there are a lot of fish in the tank.
Were the adf's getting enough to eat?
How long have you had them?

 

I never noticed anything wrong with the frogs, and I watch them a lot. Yes they were eating that's mainly when I watch them. They were nice plump healthy little frogs then one by one have found floating. I have had them about 6 months I did lose one and replace it. Water is good 0 ammonia 0 nitrite and nitrate 5-10. Yesterday I was a little concerned because it was freaking out swimming all over but then I seen it was also shedding. Thought it was dead today when I seen it half out of the water on the floating moss ball, but it was just chilling. Didnt search for the little one yet was just watching for it to come out of hiding. gonna look for it tonight. Its not unusual for the little one to disappear for a few days.

 

Your water parameters are definitely fine. They do tend to freak out when they shed, so that is normal also. Just keep a close eye on them to see if you notice any of the symptoms mentioned here: https://www.fishlore.com/aquariumfishforum/threads/chytrid-fungus-in-adfs-and-acfs.25348/

 

Its eyes are still looking really foggy legs looking kind of red and didnt notice it hunting down food like normal during feeding today. But it almost seemed like it was hungry but cloudy eyes were disrupting vision, mouth looking a little white too today. Did water change and treated tank just incase its not Chytrid. no sign of the little one maybe I already removed it and didnt notice it was that one I don't know.

 

From what I understand red legs could be a bacterial infection.
You might want to do some reading on that.

 

Thanks, I read the same about the cloudy eyes, and had already started treatment. Last frog seems to be doing better its eyes don't look as cloudy and seen it eating today.

 

Thanks for the update.
My females eyes went cloudy a couple of years ago.
It never got better but doesn't hinder her in any way.

Good luck and keep us posted.

 

I don't know what happened with the other frogs sad though. This frog is doing better eyes still slightly cloudy but no where near what they were. Since it seems to be improving and the fungus is really contagious I have concluded this was not the cause.

Cause of death unknown surviving frog recovering with Melafix treatment.

With the way the frog was acting, and random deaths I really thought it was the fungus. I was really sad thinking I would not be able to replace them in this tank. I plan on replacing the frogs when this one is 100% since I know they do better in groups.
