Hey there!

Hello and welcome to FF Andi ! Please read and follow this care article since you have improper care information on hand: http://www.frogforum.net/care-sheet-...are-sheet.html. Do not feed any freeze dried foods to your ACF; it's bad for them. Frog pellets, frozen, or live items are OK.

Your blue frog is actually a dyed albino ACF. These frogs are chemically stripped from their natural protective slime and dyed using organic dyes. The process actually kills some and damages them .

Thanks for the info! I will stop the freeze dried foods immediately. They were a fairly new addition (within the last two weeks), but before that she was just on the tubifex worms. I'll go back to that until her pellets get here.

I had assumed she had to be a dyed albino after I figured out what type of frog she was, but I had no idea what an awful process they used to get her that color. As she is getting bigger she seems to be "out growing" the blue color, although she's not returning to the creamy color of the albinos that I have seen pictures of. It's almost like she just doesn't have any color in spots anymore.

She is very active and seems very healthy with a voracious appetite. She comes to the top of the tank when I come near and she's not afraid of my hand at all which is awesome.
