African Dwarf Frog - Chytrid?

[celticstarb]

That is a fungal infection, but not Chytrid. Chytrid doesn't cause the fuzzy appearance.

ADFs fair poorly due to several factors. First, they are bred in large outdoor ponds, which makes them the same as wild caught and can be riddled with parasites. Second, they are held at distributors for a time, commonly not being fed correctly. Then they are shipped overseas in crowded bags. After that, they are held at wholesalers here in the US for some time, and many wholesalers don't take proper care of them. Next they go back into bags for shipping to local pet shops. While at the pet shops, they may or may not be cared for properly. Finally, they are bagged up again and transported home. That is a lot of stress for a tiny frog.

Your frog may have had a small abrasion that, when coupled with stress, allowed the fungus to take hold.

Adding a teaspoon of aquarium salt for every 2 gallons will help fight off fungi.
