thank you so much! I'll continue with the water changes, and I've also cut feeding time to once per night.

thanks again for reading that super long post!

Your quite welcome. I would probbly feed every other day until your water is back to normal.

7 gallons for 4 African dwarfs seems a little cramped

[emmaleigh]

they were absolutely tiny at first, and still pretty small..maybe 1" each. but I have been thinking of buying them a larger tank- just searching for the perfect one. thanks.

Ok thats good, you plan on keeping them together when their full grown?

[emmaleigh]

my dear frogs have actually passed away. I determined that one of my live plants died, probably a while ago , and I think that may have been a factor in the water quality. I am starting over now, and I am going to wait 2 months with a freshly cycled tank before adding any frogs or fish of any kind. I also removed all of the plants but one and bought a new brand of plant food/nutrients that will hopefully keep the live plant in my tank thriving.

This time around I intend to buy only two African Dwarfs so that I will be able to keep them in this tank without having to remove them to a larger tank as they grow. Thank you again for all your help.

Does anyone have any recommendations on starting this tank over? Should I take the entire tank apart and clean it and ENTIRELY in order to start from scratch? Or should I just continue changing 30% water daily and cleaning gravel/tank walls/filter when needed? (which is what I am doing now) Will the ammonia from the dead frogs and plants cause this tank to be contaminated forever? I know I sound like such a noob, but I have been researching these particular frogs for MONTHS now....as well as researching how to maintain a proper aquarium... but unfortunately, at the end of the day no matter how much I read I have realized that only practice makes perfect. I could really use any tips that someone with more experience is willing to give. Thank you!!!!!
