What should i Do

[FishKeeper2015]

My frog Fred just died. He was an African dwarf frog. He had white spots on him when he died. Should i keep him in the tank. Bury him in the gravel. Guy at petstore told me to do that with dead fish. Mthough he was shedding. Turnes out he was decaying for a week

Sorry about your frog. Definitely remove him from the tank an burry him or however you would like to dispose of him. Leaving him in the tank can make it unsafe if there's any other inhabitants.

+1 to removal. Dead animals or fish will increase the ammonia level in the tank until the BB catches up with the load. It could actually make the water so unhealthy that anything else in there could die from the rising ammonia. If you need to bury him, do it in the yard by a plant.

Hope this helps

The pet store guy told you to bury the fish in the tank?!?!?!?

That's crazy pants, next he was probably going to sell you a tiny little headstone to mark the grave def remove any dead fish from the tank. I have heavily planted tanks so it's not always so simple as removing the dead ones, I'll catch a whiff of funk and go.looking. it's good to have some scavengers in there I guess.

Well, that would have been good advice if the tank was an uncycled tank. Best source of natural ammonia? But if you have other living things (ie fish, frogs) in there, not such good advice.
