My ACF seems really odd...

[Tylon]

My frog doesn't jump for joy when she see's food... she just sits there. Then eventually it turns to mush...

The filter is VERY low... so it's not really noisy or upsetting. She enjoys sitting under it; why, I have no idea...

[Kurt]

Maybe the frog is sick.

[Tylon]

How can I tell?

I looked up the disease/ sicknesses online; and found nothing she is showing any symptoms of...

[tgampper]

It is strange that the frog hangs around the filter. It could be that the frog is stressed out. Usually, when ACFs are sick or injured, the symptoms are noticeable. The most common condition I have seen is bloat, you frog will look like the "Michelin man".

You could try wrapping the tank with butcher paper for a few days, this will reduce the amount of stimulus the frog is receiving or add additional hiding places in the tank. Do not expose the tank to bright lights at night as this will startle the frog.

[Tylon]

No; she doesn't have bloat. She's just unusually skiddish and sensitive to vibrations. Iv'e had her about a month and a half; figured she would be used to it by now.

She sits under the filter; on the side of it. She seems comfortable...

I have left her alone for a couple days; but nothing really happened.

I think sometimes she nibbles on the food she tears apart here and there. She still refuses to eat the worms; even if you try to hand feed her/ put them right next to her.

She likes to hide behind/ under the filter; in her little castle; behind/ under/ in the bamboo. She used to dig in the gravel; but I took them out because I was afraid she would accidentally eat it; and the food would get caught.

[Kurt]

Maybe she has already swallowed some gravel already. That could be the reason for the lost of appetite.

[Tylon]

No... I removed the gravel a few days after I had her, which was more than a month ago. She hasn't had anything in the tank since, except marbles, which are WAY to big for her to eat (there to anchor the live bamboo down)

I noticed today she came over to me, which was a first...

I still leave food in her tank; however I dont know if she eats them, or if they turn to mush (theres mush at the bottom of her tank at times)
