What's wrong with my Frog?

[PineappleProducer]

I see him now! Sneaky little thing.

I didn't think those little fish could make so much waste. whenever I get the money, I'll get another 20 gallon tank or buy a larger tank to move the fish to and move the frog back to the 20 gallon tank.

So, I have an update, and not necessarily a good one.

I got home from work a few minutes ago, and my frog is staying at the top of the tank. It looks like it has some skin hanging off of it, but the concerning part is that I noticed one of his legs is a tad red. Is this the red leg that I've heard about, and is it too late to do anything about it? This must have sprung up overnight, because I didn't notice it yesterday.

Oh, I am so sorry. See if you can get some Tetracycline and start treating him immediately. Tetracycline is stronger and is used to treat red leg. I believe you administer 1 mg for every 5 grams of weight? But, just in case, research other people's opinions on how to administer it.

[PineappleProducer]

I would if I had any, but I have none of those things here.

[Bog]

Are you able to get to your LFS today? API has its own brand of Tetracycline medication that should (hopefully) be sold there. If you can't make it, quarantine him and let's hope for the best!

[PineappleProducer]

The soonest I'll be able to get there will be tomorrow morning. Should I try moving him to the 10 gallon? There's no heater in there and I don't want to risk putting him in shock from the temperature difference.

[Bog]

If you've already removed the plecos, definitely transfer him to the 10 gallon. If there's a difference in temperature, you might have to do it the old fashioned way; place him in a container with some of your 20g tank water and float it in the 10 gallon, slowly acclimating him. Once the temperature is the same, then you can release him into the 10 gallon.
