Growth near ADF's mouth??

[Megz357]

So I discovered this growth near the mouth of one of my ADF's about a week ago. I thought it was fungus so I've been treating with Pimafix but have seen no improvement. Can anyone tell me what it might be or how to treat it?

Can anyone tell me how to attach an image to this forum? It keeps telling me it's an invalid file type even though it's jpg.

Try uploading the picture to a site like photo bucket and then use the Picture Icon above the comment field to post the link.

Do you feed it foods high in calcium? I am not sure if aquatic frogs can get MBD, but from the deformities on it including its front left hand and on the nose area

Not that I'm aware of. I feed them zooMed aquatic frog and tadpole food.

It doesn't seem to be fungal. Fungal infections would be white and fuzzy or sometimes clear. It almost looks like an abscess maybe caused by an injury and infection. You might try antibiotics.

Also, I have found that ADF do much better on live or frozen food. In my experience, dried and prepared foods often lead to bloat. When I bred ADFs I fed them frozen blood worms, frozen mysis shrimp, and live food. In a pinch, I have fed them mosquito larva cleaned with a weak peroxide bath (mosquito larva can host parasites and other pathogens, so caution is advised if feeding mosquito larva.)
