I decided to get two african dwarf frogs for my 20g community tank. I thought they would be cute and I didn't mind hand feeding them since they'd occupy this tank with a handful of cardinal tetras, emerald green corydoras and some leftover molly/guppies I have in there.

I am running into some (big) problems though, I have a pretty good indication that I was sold some rather sickly frogs. One frog has developed fuzzy skin and has lost the ability to use one of its hind legs. Luckily the other frog seems okay.. some of my driftwood in my tank has also had a break out of 'white fuzz / fungus' so I removed it. Also I've lost two fish (a cardinal tetra and a black molly) and three guppy/molly fry have also turned up dead. I've removed the sick/infected frog and placed him in a 5 gallon quarantine tank and he isn't looking good. The other frog is a bit bigger and healthier looking.. I've decided to let him remain in the community tank and he hides behind the filter a lot but otherwise he seems to be active.

I've included some pictures. I am rather freaked out. I did some water changes recently and I share the siphon with other tanks (though I do not use it on the same tanks on the same day). My other tank with my ACF is fine, I hope.. I bleached all my siphons, nets, buckets and did a 50% water change in my ACF tank because I am really scared of what this frog brought in...

Anyone have any idea what this is? At first I thought Chytrid but that wouldn't affect fish. I am really considering treating both tanks with Maroxy or some other anti-fungal.. any ideas here? Honestly never had this problem before, I think it will be a long time before I introduce amphibians to my tanks again.

I am mostly concerned about introducing something seriously bad to my ACF tank, perhaps I should medicate or should I just wait and see?
