Need help with African Water Frog

[mpmistr]

I have a 3 yr. old African water frog that has, for over a month, been unable to go/stay at the bottom of the tank, or maintain any other position in the water. There are no signs of bloat, also otherwise appears healthy. She (?) is sometimes, after a struggle, able to get under one of the submerged platforms/plateau provided. I have been hand feeding her blood worms about every 3 days, since she is unable to eat the sinking pellets. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!!

Is this Xenopus (African Clawed Frog - large, no webbed front feet, eyes on top of head) or Hymenochirus (African Dwarf Frog - small, webbed front feet, eyes on side of head)?

"No this is definitely a dwarf frog".

You can take a small water sample in sandwich bag to Petsmart or similar pet shops and get it analyzed for ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates for free. Recommend get a bottle of Melafix and add to tank according to bottle label instructions daily for 7 days. Do a large 50% water change with dechlorinated same temperature tap water before starting treatment and daily before treatment. Let us know of any changes and good luck !
