Re: Need help with African Water Frog
Two frogs is 2 !/2 gallons, both are approx. 3 yrs. old in low traffic area. FeedingAquatic frog sinking micro pellets and bloodworms. No substrate so I can easil see if food is eaten. Lighting is tank overhead on about 10 am until 10 pm. No heate, but temp never falls (at night) below 72 degrees. Bpth were purchased from fish store. No medications in water and no salt. Filter system is run twice a week under supervision to prevent anyone from being stuck to uptake tube. Partial water change every week to 10 days. Biggest problem is excess algae due to lighting. There are hideouts -a piece that has several canopied areas areas and cut outs. Tap water is treated with a dechlorinator. Care is taken that water added is the same temperature. No signs of bloat and abdominal area looks fine. Over 4 weeks ago she suddenly could not maintain bottom or med level contact and just floated - splayed at the top. With a great struggle she could sometimes manage to position herself in the piece described above. Lots of shrill peeping during her struggle to dive. I have been hand feeding her blood worms at the surface. She even successfully molted. Wondering if the other frog is at risk and she should be quarantined. I was in the process of setting up a larger tank and wanted to acquire two more.
