What's wrong with my Frog?

[PineappleProducer]

I was going to do all of this tomorrow, I didn't think things would escalate this quickly. I haven't transferred the plecos yet, and that puts me in a similar situation that I have with the frog.

I do have a 5 gallon bucket in the room. Would that suffice?

Suffice for who? Claude or the plecos?

If for Claude... Well, the five gallon bucket will work in an emergency. But keep in mind that it'll be extremely difficult to regulate the temperature in such a small volume of water, and it's also difficult to check on Claude's status with only a top view. But as long as the bucket's never been used to hold chemicals/soaps, in theory it should work for a short time.

However, if you're going to transfer him to the 10 gallon tomorrow anyways (and you don't currently have the medication), it would just add unneeded stress to move him to the bucket today. What about adding the plecos to the bucket and Claude to the now-empty tank?

I was referring to Claude. I panicked and went ahead and put him in the bucket shortly after I posted on here. I never even considered putting the plecos in the bucket. I'm so upset and nervous over the whole thing I can't think straight. I guess I'll leave the frog be for now. I'll leave for the Pet Store ASAP tomorrow morning and treat him as soon as I return home.

You're worried about your beloved frog, it's totally normal to panic and be upset! And how is Claude doing? Is he eating? Do you have anymore pictures of him? Let's just hope the red you saw was more pink and just a part of his albino coloration (God knows how many times I've looked at my ACF's and imagined they had at least 50 different diseases).

Keep us updated!

He's still not wanting to eat anything. I've seen him go down to the bottom of the bucket a few times since I have put him in there, so he can still maintain his buoyancy to a degree. I'm just trying to figure out why his leg got so bad so quick. It looked nothing like this yesterday.

I'm sad to inform everyone, I just got back from the pet store, but I didn't make it back in time. Claude is dead.

I'm so, so sorry for your loss. Are you going to be okay?

[PineappleProducer]

I think I'll be alright, assuming I can shake this guilt that I failed as his caretaker. I had him since he was a wee froglet, I was really hoping I would get to raise him to adulthood. The fish tank just isn't the same without him in there.

Sounds like it was red leg, sorry man.

Thanks for your all's concerns and condolences. I gave him a proper burial in the backyard yesterday. I was really bummed out yesterday, more than I thought I would have been. I was pretty attached to the little guy. I can at least find some comfort in knowing that he isn't suffering anymore.
