    Unhappy Help! Green growth on babies

    My african dwarf frogs had "babies" a few months ago. Everything has been fine for months, but now I'm starting to lose the little frogs one by one. (They lost their tails a couple weeks ago).
    One by one they seem to get a green growth on their backs.. And start staying upside down on the bottom of the aquarium. They seem dead until feeding time and then they perk up. Still staying upside down though. Usually a day after I see the green growth, they pass.
    For the life of me, I can't find ANYTHING about green fungus-like growths online.
    The water did have an algae bloom recently and I took care of that naturally. ( no chemicals!)
    I have no idea what's going on.. Anyone ever heard of anything g like this??

    The following information will be very helpful if provided when requesting assistance with either your frog or enclosure.

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


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

    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.
