I should start by saying that I haven't been as up to date on tank maintenance as I would like - school and work have gotten the best of me, unfortunately. I keep the filter running 24/7 and add water every few weeks, though. I have two Xenopus females in a 20 gallon tank and, for the past few days, one of them has been very reclusive. This usually wouldn't have set off any alarms - they love their little hideaway so it's relatively uncommon for me to see them at all, for all I knew I was seeing 2 different frogs at different times. I went to clean the tank today, however, and was shocked to find that one of them is missing 3 chunks of skin along her back. At first glance, it looked like a fungal infection so I ran off to the store for some Pimafix, but upon further inspection I'm not so sure... The sores look slightly bloody, which could certainly be abrasions from scratching fungal patches against her cave surface... Any thoughts?

Could be abrasion. How is she doing now?
