I've had these three, two males and one female, for close to a year now. At least ten months. They've been through tons of changes in water quality, tank mates and sizes. I'm so confused why people say they're extra sensitive. These guys have been tough as nails for me!

I had 3 frogs in a two gallon medium critter keeper for about 3 or 4 months. They ate sinking pellets and I changed the water completely once a week. Just rinsed everything off with hot water. I decided to add a betta. This was a bad idea. I quickly went out and bought a 2.5 gallon betta bow tank for all four of them. Well, knowing nothing of cycling a tank then the ammonia was high and the betta's tail started to rot. I quickly gave him to a friend (ex betta breeder) who treated him and still has him in a community fully planted ten gallon tank. The frogs weren't very pleased with him anyway.

So I worked on the water for around two months until I finally have an awesome, small but clean tank. I have 2 anubias nana, some dwarf grass that they keep kicking up so I don't think it will last much longer, and a marimo moss ball. I also have 3 tiny endler's live bearers (I feed them a small pinch twice a day). The tank is overstocked, I know but the water quality is consistently clean. I do a 30% water change once a week (I've tested the water on day 6 with fantastic results, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 10< ppm nitrates) and use stress zyme and prime. I feed them exclusively blood worms (because the pellets fall apart and screw up the water quality) but am thinking about getting some frozen brine shrimp too to mix it up, although they seem to love the worms.

I had one accident when a frog escaped. A couple of weeks later I noticed his skin turned blotchy and white and then it darkened within a few days. I'm assuming these were some type of burn, either from drying out or from the chlorine when I quickly tried to rinse the dog hair off him with tap. Dumb move, I know.

Now that you know my tank inside and out let me present the recent problem I've noticed. A couple of days ago I noticed the the frog with the scars was spending a lot of time near the bow of the tank. Swimming up and down. Looking like he was trying to escape. I thought maybe he was more sensitive because of his scars. Then, a couple of hours ago I noticed all three of them in the front doing the same thing!

Well, I added a small amount of salt to the tank a few weeks ago when I noticed an Endler had a spot on his tail. I then added a small amount of salt the next water change and at least one more random time too. I'm wondering if the salt is bothering them? It's a small amount but still I guess the build up could be irritating. My other idea is that they're getting too much light. They're probably only getting about 6-8 hours of complete darkness a night.

Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!
