Default Brown Jelly?

Well i noticed that a few of my heads of frogspawn were having issues. Saw a lil brown stuff but kinda shrugged it off. Just look at the tank again cause i've been gone all day and noticed a lot of if, now killing off another head.

What can i do to save the rest of the colony? Do i just off the troubled heads?

well demonclown gave me a tip. and i also surfed around to get other ideas.

I didn't want to wait till the lights came on tomorrow so i acted now.

I got the turkey baster and sucked up what brown jelly i could to hopefully ensure it doesn't spread aorund.
Took the colony out and placed it in an iodine dip. I clipped off two heads that i knew were dead.

Dipped it a few more times than placed the colony back in a different location in higher flow.

Ill update tomorrow, hopefully this colony pulls through as its an awesome piece.

Good idea to take care of the issue before it speads. The infamous brown blob can spread fairly fast. That's what happened with an acan colony I had a while back...
