Its not just parasites. Its all the antibiotics and the chemical that makes goldfish gold. The chemical that makes the fish gold is toxic in large quantities and may build up in the frog's system over time.

Im not really following...goldfish arent naturally gold? Or less gold then after treatment? Surely they arent doing this with feeder fish, but has it almost got to the point of artificial selection where it is carried down thru generations?

Or is this a naturally occuring chemical somehow?

Lol! Sorry, I should have been more specific. Its a natural chemical produced by the fish.

Yes it was shawnessy petland. Which kind of confuses me because two seperate people told me they got it mid july. I went there last around end of june/start of july and I never saw a Pixie there. I wonder if it could be a different Pixie? Or if he was returned? Hopefully not.

If it is somehow the same Pixie that would also mean pretty poor growth, in which case I hope stunted growth is indeed correctable.

no, it should be the same one, I was looking at him every single time I'm there ( a lot :lol and I watched him grow, they changed his tank placement though, but I'm pretty sure that still was him, unless by miracle they sold one and got exactly same size pretty soon, to be correct I got mine at J&J as a baby in beginning of May and shortly after that I saw that boy at shawnessy. but there was a gap at the end of July, when we were away and I wasn't coming at all. to be honest every time when I'm at pet store I'm checking frogs first :lol: and I haven't seen tiger monkey frog at deerfoot petland for like 5 month that they had it, may be that is the case for you too
