    Update, I got another frog today. I was trying to find a girl. So I was looking for one with a more round body. Now, I worry I picked one with bloat. I didn't notice in the store, but the rounder body, also makes her look like she has a beer belly. But, thankfully, she is in a 1 gal. pre-prepared quarantine tank. I know, its small, but thats all I have.
    The purpose of getting this new frog is to provide companionship to my other frog. Almost as soon as I got her in the separate tank, that I had set next to the existing one, both frogs go over to the glass and hang out across from each other. Cute. I just hope the newbie is healthy.
    I also got 2 ghost shrimp and put one in each tank to hopefully cut down on the amount of filter time and bottom cleaning. And maybe any of this could cut down on froggy stresses.

    I recommend keeping the filter on at all times. When you turn your filter off, you stop the flow of oxygen from feeding the filter bacteria (what you want to grow) and this bacteria is what actually filters your tank. It dies off quickly when deprived of oxygen and if there is no filter bacteria then there is no filtration of the water, just water being moved around.

    Post a picture of your new little female. Hopefully she doesn't have bloat

    I moved the filter closer to the top. I will try letting it run more and see if its less disturbing to them.
    I am kinda thinking the new frog just really needed to poop. She has much less of a belly today, and there is a big poop in the tank. But she still has a bit of a belly that I am not used to. It could be just her body shape, or she could be chubby. As super shy as she is, she was shamelessly going crazy for a piece of food last night.

    Any idea what this pink spot is on her side? Its only the one side, didn't see it until I got home. It kind of looks like thinner skin to me, like maybe recovering from an injury.... but I would love opinions.

    Unfortunately I cannot zoom in on the picture but her form looks healthy to me. Females have a vastly different body shape from males and are more pear shaped where as males are thinner.

    Keep an eye on her and see how she is getting on in a few weeks before you make their introductions.
