Hi... I wrote on 6/7 re: my 2 ACF frogs that mysteriously died in one day... never iscovered the cause. I have another small acf frog that I would like to now put into a bigger tank... can the one that the frogs died in be used??? Any suggestions for cleaning it to rid of any possible diseases??? Thought amybe vinegar/baking soda would be ok... please advise...thanks..ten

When these type of frogs die mysteriously and quickly it is most often from some type of bacterial disease which isn't always noticeable externally. It would be fine to use the same tank for the new frog after cleaning. The best method is to use a bleach solution of 10%. Scrub everything (including all accessory equipment; filters, nets etc.)with the bleach solution and let it sit for a couple minutes. Then rinse everything a couple times with fresh water until all the bleach smell is gone. This should kill any harmful bacteria.

Thanks very much!
