Last night I found my 8 month old green/bronze auratus dead...I was not too pleased by this discovery.
About a month ago I had witnessed her have a seizure and through consultation (i.e. topic: Wasting Frog) picked up not only some Reptical but also some Herptivite (for the other frog). During the first week I dusted their fruit flies daily (only with the Reptical) and then proceeded to dust every other day with the Ca and weekly with the Herptivite.
Then last week her right eye became inflammed (see topic "Inverted eyelid?"). It was puffy for roughly 4 days and red for only 1 of those days then everything seemed to clear up. Throughout the whole ordeal she remained healthy acting, eating and hopping about normally.
All seemed well until this Wednesday. I hadn't seen her out and about for a day, but I had also been gone at classes for most of the day (during their peak activity period) and she usually hangs out behind the cork bark wall anyway so I didn't think much of it.
I got back from work that evening and threw some fruit flies in the tank. The one came hopping out (he's usually out anyway) but she failed to make an appearance (she was the much chunkier one and loves to be fed). I waited a half hour or so and then systematically began to dissasemble my tank in search of her.
There she was, sitting in her favorite spot behind the wall, stone dead. I have no idea what happened to her...she obviously wasn't stuck.
Tank specifications:
Humidity: 80-90%
Temperature: right around 80 (I think that might be too hot for them and so am working on making it stay more in the mid-70's)
Size: 20L
If anyone has any ideas as to what may have happened her please let me know
. I would hate for something to happen to my other auratus...
Thanks!!
