First of all, I didn't know where i should post this question, so forgive me if it's in the wrong forum. I was wondering how a dwarf frog could just disappear in a 6 gallon eclipse tank? 2 days ago he was fine. Yesterday i couldn't find him, i figured he was dead in the castle. I had to go to work and didn't have time to search for him. Today i looked everywhere and not one clue that he even existed. I have 1 dwarf frog remaining, 4 white clouds and a snail. Is it possible that he died and was totally consumed? Should i move the last frog? They've been living peacefully together for 3 months or so. I didn't even know that the frog was sick, no visible signs of illness. My water is good, ph 7.2, ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates 5, the temp. has gotten a little high with the increasing heat, around 77 degrees. But the rest of the inhabitants seem fine. Could someone tell me what could have happened?

Sounds like he died, of natural causes, I'd assume, and got eaten. Snails will make short work of a fish, I had about 10-15 snails devour a 2 inch fish overnight., all that was left were small pieces of him.

Just seemed odd that one snail could eat a whole frog without a trace being left behind. Thanks, i just needed someone to confirm what i already thought.
