My first cobalt tinc died at probably under 2 years, and the second was about 4. There's not a whole lot I can do to investigate why, and when I start over it will probably be with a large community of leucs or auratus.
There are so many things that I could have done wrong that I am not sure why they died, especially 2 years apart and with no warning. It could have been lack of water, not enough food, something in the food or water, mold, I keep seeing mention of skin diseases, or for all I know it got bit by a spider or something. The first was a skeleton, mixed in with the roots of the plants when I found it. I could barely tell it wasn't roots. This one was in its coconut hut, laid out flat and dried out like a mummy.
I am cleaning the terrarium for storage, and I want to be certain that if there is a disease involved, it is gone before I introduce new frogs. It may be 2 or 3 years before I try this again. I've tossed the plants and soil and the first layer of screen. I'm leaning toward bleach, followed by extensive rinsing for the gravel, glass, water dishes and anything else I choose to keep.
Is bleach ok for cleaning a vivarium and its components if it will be a while before frogs are reintroduced?
Are there sure indications that a frog is about to croak? Eating less and spending more time in the water are tough to observe sometimes.
Thanks, everyone. This is really bothering me. I've lost a lot of fish, but the frogs are different. Maybe less interactive than a lot of my pets, but special.
