I purchased and ADF at my local petco 2 weeks ago (5/15) and after acclimating (in my 20 gallon long tank with 8 female bettas), it started acting weird. It began going ashore to my filter so I put him in a small cup, I noticed that he was being lethargic and didn't want to eat, his skins was also shedding but didn't come of instantly which made me think he had chytrid. I should also mention that at the store, several ADFs were stuck on the filter intake, and only 2 (1 of which I got) were swimming freely. I ordered a heater so I could kill the chytrid with heat on 5/22 but didn't ship until 5/26 and arrived on 5/29. I think the last day my frog ate was on 5/20-22. I slowly raised the temperature up to 93 F in a separate tank where the frog was in a small cup with 1 cup of water at 2.5 cm tall. The frog seemed fine, until this morning, my frog was all pale and as I turned it over, it had a green and red spot on its belly. I've had 4 ADFs in the past and they all died within 1 month, but I had no knowledge of them back then and kept them in bowls with no heater. Do you think I can get a refund and petco? I really think it was chytrid that killed the frog because it was too late.
