dwarf frogs with white fuzzy stuff

[chazsgirl]

my hubbie finally got all 10 of his dwarf frogs but 1 had fuzzy stuff on it's head and 1 had it on it's butt, well today they both were dead, what was that white fuzzy stuff?

 

[DAVIDFBT]

A fungus called chytrid.

any idea how they get it, we had gotten 1 frog before from petco (the place they all came from) and he had fuzzy stuff on his foot. they keep them in a tank with angel fish, does that matter?

 

[DAVIDFBT]

An angelfish may have bitten it and it got infected. Fungus comes from microscopic spores in the air and in the water.

actually chytrid doesn't show up as a fuzzy fungus. It's a different type of fungus. lol.
