new to the forum :D got a few questions

[rodsboys]

What have you done to try to cure the bloat to this point? What are you feeding your frogs? If I had to guess about Princess I would say ammonia burn or early red leg. I am not an expert of the disease aspect of these guys though. Any that I lost over the years was due to escapes and cannibalization. Jenna will have a good idea. Perhaps you can just PM her and ask her to take a look.

I cant remember what i tried now, it was a couple of years ago but it didnt do anything.
Princess's bits cleared up and she seems fine now.
How do i get in touch with jenna to ask her??
cheers

I am kind of curious what size aquarium you are keeping your three frogs in? From the pictures it appears the aquarium may be a bit small for three adult frogs which would explain the issues you are having. Also what kind of filtration are you using? It will be hard to treat the frogs if they are living in poor conditions.

its a 125 ltr which is 32w x 20h and 14d in inches

The tank is a juwel rio 125 with the juwel filter in the corner.

Just did a water test earlier today and all seems normal, a month ago nitrites and nitrates were very high though

[mpmistr]

An aquarium of that size should be fine for three frogs. I'm not familiar with that filter though, do you know how strong it is G? High Nitrites/Nitrates is actually quite toxic. I'm actually surprised you have any Nitrates at all if there is Nitrite present.

Again Nitrite is quite toxic.

What is normal exactly?

Normal would be 0ppm Ammonia 0ppm Nitrite and >20ppm Nitrate.

No idea what the g is on the filter, its a juwel bioflow 3.0.
My latest test results are 7.2 ph 0 ammonia 0.2 nitrite 10-20 nitrate
when i was having problems last month mynitrate level was 30 then went to 100 the next day, i treated the problem and it went down to 20 the week after, ,the nitrite level was at 2.5 when nitrate was at 100.

I have recently added live plants to the tank, not sure if that will help them out in any way??

had a weird incident the other night, Iv had cloudy water issues for a while but been trying to keep it under control with green away which seemed to clear it up a lot. Anyway, the water hasnt been crystal clear for a while but nowhere near as bad as its been, i do my weekly changes and it clears up a little with the green away then stays as it is which is slightly cloudy. The other night it seemed crystal clear in one corner where 2 new plants are but the rest was a little cloudier, the night after i got home from work and the water was crystal clear........no idea how or why but im not complaining

I'm trying to understand the readings is it .2ppm nitrite? Any nitrite = bad.. 100ppm nitrate??? That is insanely high.

It will help soak up nitrates a bit.. but make sure your lighting is adequate enough for plant growth because decaying plants will only make your water quality worse.

Cloudy water could be a bacterial bloom, did you change the media in your filter maybe?.. generally speaking water clarity and water quality aren't one in the same. ACF are dirty animals as far as waste production I am curious if the filter that came with your tank is powerful enough for 3 ACF.
