Help please my frog might die

[5sosvictoria]

hello so i own a clawed frog, i have had him for about 6 months. I recently noticed he wasn't eating. He got very skinny and is refusing food. I moved him to a different tank so he wont get attacked or sucked up in the filter of the other tank. He just floats on top and casually swims to the bottom. I also noticed he has a black spot on his back. I'm thinking the spot is gravel because at the pet store they never told me to avoid gravel and since i started my tank i cant take it out. Please help me find out whats wrong with him. I dint want to loose him Thank You

It could indeed be impaction but ill let others decide that as I am no expert but you need to get that gravel out. One option is to get a tub put tank water in carefully put the frogs in the tub. Then drain the tank and keep some of the tank water preferably most,and then remove the gravel. But in case it is not please fill this out, it is the template the admins use to help with these things. Good luck
