Default Re: Some real trouble! =( Dwarf Frogs and fish

Frogs, like loaches are more succeptible to toxins in the water "burning" them since they have no scales. Some of these toxin can be found in small amounts in tap water, copper is one that comes to mind.

You could find something that neutralizes heavy metals and see if that helps, or just stay away from frogs for now and rule out anything else in your tank. The fact that one fish also died, might mean some kind of disease...so keep an eye out for various signs and symptoms.

BTW some medications may actually be more stressful than helpful to amphibians, loaches, inverts, so read the labels carefully.
