- Don't wash plants or gravel in tap water. Can use tank water to rinse.
- How do I rinse out gravel if no tap water? I usually swish the water through the gravel to get it clean.

...Are you advising dechlorinator and let water sit as well?

- It seems most of the comments in that care sheet are for a dwarf frog and I actually think my frog is a clawed frog. Is that correct? It also seems that my tank size is ok for my frog then since they recommend 1gal per dwarf frog and my frog is the same size as a dwarf frog.
Agree with Jen that appears you have a stunted ACF. I only use salt to medicate frogs, did advice you to replace it as you water change for that issue. If you have always used salt and frog still got sick; then think it will not help in this case. Understand your decision not to medicate, that is your choice. Recommend then follow Jen's advice and see how that goes.

Reason I stated not to wash gravel in tap water is because you do not use a filter and the small amount of good bacteria live in that gravel. By washing it on tap you kill them and the ammonia/nitrite problem becomes permanent. So swishing in removed tank water is similar to "vacuuming" gravel during water change in bigger tank.

After using dechlorinator in proper dose can use water immediately if same temperature.

Understand frog is not a Dwarf Clawed Frog; reason referenced that care sheet was to point out additional feeding items .
