    Default ADF: Lower jaw issues.

    I'm not sure what's going on but one of my frog's jaw has a tiny white spot right in the middle of the lower jaw. The female's lower jaw looks a bit bumpy. The other male is totally fine looking. Any idea? Should I add a small amount of salt?

    They fight when they eat so I'm wondering if it's fighting wounds or something. Plus, someone shed recently too.

    I'm a bit nervous because I had a fish die a few weeks ago from something similar. It started out like a white spot on her mouth and he was dead 24 hours later.

    looks like it might be fungal, id say talk to someone at the pet store and look into getting anti-fungal treatment if they also agree. it would be good to isolate him too while being treated in case something happens and to prevent the spread to others.I had an adf die from a fungal infection and it was so hard to watch. I would also suggest a water change in the main tank and treat that water too to be safe. again double check with someone else but thats exactly what it looks like to me, good luck and i hope your little one does ok

    Thanks! Not sure if it's fungal. It hasn't changed at all in the past couple of days. I'm not sure what medicine to use either as I know some fungal treatments are terrible for them. I'll have to do more research.

    Thanks! Sorry about your little adf :/

    Hi,

    that doesn´t look fungal to me. How do you keep the frogs (tank size, filtration, water quality, temp, feeding regime etc.)? Are there any changes in behaviour? Could be normal pigmentation.
