small red spots on my frog :(
Ok I just noticed this today- and I stare at my frogs for a good chunk of time every night so it has to have happened recently.
I saw my frog Astro eating his shed skin today, and shortly after I noticed small red spots on his back and around his butt.
He and his tank mate have been enduring the cycling process and it is at the point where the ammonia is going down and nitrites are going up. Could these be ammonia or nitrite burns?
Ever since I put him in the new tank he has been acting like he can't get comfortable. He swims back and forth and won't sit still for very long, but he has continued to sing and amplex, and even produced some fertile tadploes in his new tank (who are slowly being eaten by their mother). He hasn't been eating very well but I figured this is just because he's stressed from the move.
Could these also be a result of stress?
His tank mate has been acting fine and has a great appetite. She has been just relaxing and enjoying the new tank and shows no symptoms of anything.
To be safe I just moved him back into his old tank, which I kept running even though it has been vacant, in case something like this happens.
I don't have any medication but I did drop some stress coat in there.
Thoughts?
