I have 2 ACFs with soft bloat, one is rather extreme now. The other 4 frogs in the tank do not have bloat. I've tried Epsom salt bathes without any improvement. I am now considering aspiration...
Why not put a sponge over the intake of your hob filter?
Canister
I have sand in my frog tank. Waste generally stays on top of the sand and is easily removed by siphoning or netting. I agree a bare bottom tank is not aesthetically pleasing.
Sand can ruin...
Could be abrasion. How is she doing now?
I upgraded my ACFs from a 40 gal breeder tank to a standard 75 gal tank this past fall. Tried to post some pics in another thread but couldn't get it to work. Anyway, I have been thinking about...
Any pictures of this procedure available?
Still trying to get some pictures on here...
Ok, thanks. I'll see if I can get photo bucket to work.
Can't get pics to load. Will try later with a different format.
Recently upgraded the tank for the frogs. I have 7: 3 albinos and 4 pigmented. They were previously living in a 40 gal breeder tank but are now in a 75 gal tank.
Glad he is still eating. Good luck! Thanks for the link to the article.
Does look the same, or even spreading. Could this be a virus of some sort? Where antibiotics wouldn't work.
Looking much better.
Glad she is doing better.
I bought some of mine here: http://m.enasco.com/xenopus/
It looks a little better in your second picture. Is the frog acting and eating normal?
Has it changed in size? Looking at the picture, is there another spot under her other eye?
Is the filter established? Perhaps your tank is too new?

I have river sand in my frog tank now, but will most likely be changing it to Caribsea Sunset Gold sand here in the near future when I upgrade their tank.
You will need a larger tank soon. A 20 gal long would be good for awhile. Skip the river rock substrate and go with a sand substrate. I would also recommend a filter. Make sure you have a good...
I did a water change on the frog tank the other day. As soon as I opened the lid on the tank, my biggest acf came flying out like a bullet out the end of a barrel. By the time I realized what...
Using the water and plants from the 10 gal will help. You can also transfer the substrate and filter material from the 10 gal. A 40 breeder is a good size tank for your frogs.
Thanks.
