I have had my three pacific tree frogs since they were tadpoles (I collected them out of the wild). They are wonderful eaters, and seemed healthy to me, except that they started getting gold on the parts of their body that are usually dark brown or black. (the stripes). I thought maybe it had something to do with not getting enough sunlight, or something like that. I just reciently discvered that it is actually a fungus and it is fatal. What I would like to know is what caused it and is there a way to cure it?

One of them has it way more than the other two, and one hardly has it at all.

They still seem healthy, one might say that they are just extra pretty, that's what I thought at first, anyway.

They used to live in a 10 gal, upgraded it today to a 15. They have no lights, are next to a window and live with two very small rough skinned newts.

I did not think it a problem to house the two species together since they live together in the wild all over the place at our house. I actually caught larvea from both species on acident when I really only wanted the frog tadpoles.

Anyway, sorry for the long post. If anyone can help me I would be happy to post a picture, I just don't have a really good one at the moment.

Thanks!
