    Hi

    I had 4 African dwarf frogs. I lost 1 yesterday who started just floating around the top and falling back down on his back, then i noticed another ones skin looks like its rotting away and has his little webs missing, hes now at the top looking very poorly, i have 2 others 1 is really pale but they both look okay for now, is it fungus? i started medicating with protozin yesterday, it is really upsetting me as i dont know what it is and dont want to lose the rest

    Hello and welcome to frog forum!!

    Please answer the following questions to help us help you

    The following information will be very helpful if provided when requesting assistance with either your frog or enclosure. To help with your questions, please utilize the below list and post the information in the proper forum area to get advice from FF members that keep the same frog. This will allow for little confusion and a faster more informed response.


    1. Tank Size and volume of water in it (full, 1/2 filled, etc.)?

    2. Number of inhabitants including all frogs and any fish?

    it would also help if you posted some pictures. The photo uploader has been a problem in the past but it usually works if you post a link to photobucket or upload directly to the site using the Tapatalk app.
