African Clawed Frog Won't Eat & Shakes

I have a pellet food right now, but the pellets are too little for him since he has gotten bigger. He used to always come up to the top of the tank to eat, but now he hasn't been doing anything. I'm going to try feeding him a frozen food that sinks today and then I will either by Reptomin or HBH based upon what he does. Maybe he wants to eat at the bottom now... who knows. I just hope he starts eating again. He looks so pale and sad...
When he was smaller, I had him in a tank with a Tetra Whisper Internal filter and I had so many problems with it. It stopped working at times, and it would start to vibrate. I had the 10i. I'll probably end up keeping the filter I have for the next few weeks since I bought him a 30 gallon tank with a Whisper EX 45. I'll have time to set it up and put it together in a few weeks.

Hi,

earthworms are a great staple as well (better than low quality pellets); ACFs are carnivorous, so they can´t digest plant material. If you want to use pellets, make sure that they are adequate for amphibians.

Did you already try the frozen food? Fingers crossed that he likes it!

It´s great that you will upgrade his tank 30 gal is a good size for this species, I´m sure he will appreciate all the room! Your filter will do until then.

This thread has a me little curious, you said your frog is having seizures? Can you describe this more? I've seen my frogs have 'twitchy feet' once in a blue moon but it never lasts longer than a few seconds and I don't believe this is anything to be alarmed about.

Well, I got blood worms and earthworms. And he didn't even act interested I put it right in front of him and he just sat there uninterested. His whole leg clenched up. Like he was having a muscle spasm. I tried getting a video of it, but epic fail on my part since I had earthworms in my hand. If his leg was a human's it looks like the muscles spasm almost like a Charlie horse that we sometimes get. There's no lumps in his tummy or anything so no rocks in his stomach. I don't know what to do...
