IRT your test kits; they might be faulty. Only way to check that is to take water sample in a sandwich bag to local fish store and have them tested. Foam in the water can be caused by bacterial bloom or excess organics from the frog's condition.

You mentioned adding salt and some medication to the water. Can you please state the dose being used for both and how many days has treatment been ongoing? How long do you need to run that antibiotic? Myself would treat with a combo of Melafix and Pimafix; but you can't stop antibiotic treatments half way because that creates problems down the line with antibiotic resistant pathogen strains. Good luck !

Was told never use melafix with the frogs.She is currently seperated frog the others in a small clear tote that holds about 5 gallons but I only have her in enough so she can stand and get air without swimming. I just want her to rest. I am currently using tetracycline orally by injecting it in her worms. Now that she has started eating again. The dose is 1mg/5g of body weight. I have just been injecting a full worm with 1 mg and when and if she eats it she gets it. Aquarium salt at half the dose it says on the box. I did this for 3 days, cleaning her clean water everyday. Now she is in regular water with nothing and seems to be clearing up. This morning she also decided to lay some eggs for me and eat her worm plus some snack guppies. The rash is fading I believe in another couple days whatever it was will be gone and I will put her back in the bigger tank with the other 2. After bringing water to pet store I realized my readings were way off. my numbers are reading. 7.3 PH, ammonia 0.25ppm, nitrates 20ppm , nitrites 2ppm, phosphate 0. I have had this tank established for a yr now and have never had this problem before. What could have interupted my nice cycle? I have done a 15% water change to that one and added amquel.
