Lots of bubbles under water fall this morning? Dead frog!

I woke up and what the hell, my normal water fall was full of bubbles.

I checked on it and the bubbles died down.

4 hours later I found my frog dead.

Do they make some gas when they die?

I had just about 3 weeks ago planted plants (Air plants) and moss.

What are the bubbles?

I have one frog left alive and happy.

Can you give us a little more information. Was your frog in the water?

[Dancing frogs]

How old were the frogs, and what species?
Do you have accomodation for drainage under you're substrate (false bottom, leca, etc?

I have a water pump/filter and rocks. on top of the rocks is a log.

On the top of the log is moss then plants.

The frog was on his usual place on the water pump (Its buried all but the intake vent.)

I don't have a false bottom this is just a small tank.

I am the second owner of the frogs.

Got them 5 months ago.

(I did notice he just shed and was acting strange)

Not sure if the shed had cleared his nostrils?

They are Chinese fire belly toads.

I am in Costa Rica (Its amazingly hard to get frogs in this place or any one that knows about them lol!!!)

Obviousley I wish to get dart frogs if my local shop can get them.

thanks!

How strong was the waterfall? Do you think it would be strong enough to trap the toad there and drown it?

O no, and this frog was very strong.

Water was just a mellow thing.

:roll:

Chemicals in the water? The bubbles could have been a sign of soap, or some other chemical being released and these killed your toad.
Do you remember maybe accidentally putting some soap of chem in there? Or in the water?

or even some kind of spray air freshner like Lysol or Frebreeze or something.. or spraying windex or something near the tank

If the frog died from some other reason but released skin toxins or even mucoid secretions into the water the water will bubble.
