frequent egg laying

I have an azureus pair who lay once a week and maybe 1 or 2 eggs go bad out of 6. I have found that increasing vitamin supplements helps a little. Also using meth blue, black water extract or acriflavin help prevent molding. I have a special water mixture I use on the eggs that is spring water, blackwater extract, and 2 drops of acriflavin.

Hi

2 drops of acriflavin

Hmmmm I don't know what this is. Explain? And doesn't the Methyl blue, and Black water cover your bases as far as mold?

I think we all know who the father is...yours truly!

Acriflavin is another dye like methylene blue that is an anti-mold drug used in the aquarium trade for fish eggs and treating fungal infections. I only use one or the other, I just happen to be using acriflavin since I had some on hand. It turns water neon yellow, so you may have seen it before.

so there is nothing wrong with her laying eggs so frequently? I thought she may get weak because she lays so frequently. The eggs are discoloured (brown and black) the first day they are laid. Thats why I thought it has something to do with her health rather than mold problems.

Ortega,

At least one of the local breeders, who is a person that I trust, gives their frogs a break from breeding every couple of months especially in the summer when it is a little warmer to reduce the stress on the frogs.

I would like to give her a break. Is the best way to do that to remove her from the tnak and put her with no males? I have tried not misting the tank but it does not stop them.

I plan to give mine a break, do you have to do this by physically seperating them or just adjusting teh environmental conditions?
