hello,
this morning my 6 head frogspawn looked normal and healthy i looked at him again this afternoon and 3 heads were laying on the bottom of the tank!!!
and its the entire head it almost looked like it was melting off?
my test results didnt show anything besides lik 10 ppms of ammonia??
i dont have a pic yet i will have one soon but this is what the head looked like after it fell off??

You have ammonia? Do you know why? Ammonia should be zero, always. Something has died, overfed, or the tank has not cycled completely. Gonna need some more information here. How old is the tank? Did you see it go through a cycle? What is in the tank, how much sand, rock, fish, inverts, coral? What do you have for mechanical and or chemical filtration?

That is not a dying frog, it is a close to dead one.

Can you answer some of the questions from Post #2 please sharkbait?

That's not his, he used the pic as a comparison...I told him the same thing...it looks dead to me....I asked him to try to get us a pic of his....
he also has a brain that has turned half white
Any ideas.....I have no clue...was hoping you would Henry

You said your water is cloudy in the PM you sent me. Can you get a full tank picture so we can see? Does your bakpak filter have biological media in it? Have you ever cleaned it? Did you make a mistake with the test kit when you tested for ammonia the first time? How ofter are you doing water changes and what percentage are you doing? Did the frogspawn fall from where it was?
