    Hello Classpi, sorry your frog is sick . Bloating can be caused by several health issues. Could you please answer these questions to try and narrow it down? Thank you !

    “Trouble in the Frog Enclosure”
    The following information will be very helpful if provided when requesting assistance with either your frog or enclosure. To help with your questions, please utilize the below list and post the information in the proper forum area to get advice from FF members that keep the same frog. This will allow for little confusion and a faster more informed response.


    1. Tank Size and volume of water in it (full, 1/2 filled, etc.)?

    2. Number of inhabitants including all frogs and any fish?

    3. Water source and any conditioner treatments?

    4. Water Temperature and how is it heated (if so)?

    5. Water chemistry levels: pH; Ammonia (NH3); Nitrites (NO2); Nitrates (NO3)? Note that if you do not have test kits, most aquariums/pet shops will do complimentary tests if you take a clean water sample.


    6. Describe any filter system including model and media?[/COLOR]

    7. Substrate type?

    8. Tank set-up (plants (live or artificial), driftwood, hide outs and other decor? - How were things prepared prior to being put into the tank?

    9. Main frog staple food and any treats? How often you feed?

    10. CA, vitamins, and any other additives used (how often)?


    11. Lighting set-up and hours it's used?

    12. When is the last time frog ate?

    13. Have you found poop lately?

    14. A picture would be helpful including frog and tank (any including cell phone pics are fine).

    15. How old is the frog?

    16. How long have you owned him/her?

    17. Is the frog wild caught or captive bred?

    18. Any medications in the water (treatment dosis and for how long)?

    19. Any salt in water (how much)?

    20. Is the tank kept in a high or low traffic area?

    21. Describe tank maintenance to include water changes, cleaning, media changes, etc.).

    1. The tank is 4.2 in height, 11.6 inches x 11.8 inches width. Here's the tank Amazon.com: Lee's Fire Belly Landing, Round w/Lid, Handle, Tray, Plant: Pet Supplies The wat

    2. Only one frog. No fish.

    3. Water source is from the sink. I use Top Fish water conditionor

    4. Water temperature is room temp, no heating

    5. N/A

    6. No filter system. The aquarium itself has little holes at the bottom where debris will flow out when the cage is picked up

    7. Pebbles and a landing in the middle.

    8. One artificial plant, and a rock hide-out.

    9. Live crickets. Once a day. (Since he doesn't more than one a day)

    10. Nope.

    11. No lighting.

    12. A day ago (believed)

    13. No. But i have been finding this clear mucus with little black dots in it.

Size:  98.2 KB In the second picture you can see the mucus on the landing

    15. I don't know. He was a light green when we got him 2 years age. Now's he a dark green but i believe that is because we gave him mealworms last time. We don't give him those anymore

    16. For about 2 years or so.

    17. Captive bred

    18. No.

    19. No.

    20. High.

    21. I clean the tank almost every week

    I'm probably don't have the right stuff to take care of him, don't I.
    I've been thinking of getting a new, bigger cage for a while. But because of the way he's been acting, I'm thinking twice about it.
    Should i get a new tank and maybe a heat light?

    Now he is "coughing"
