    That is the main concern. It's on all three of my RETF's, but she's the worst. I haven't seen any change in behavior yet, but it's only been a few days. Is there any other measures to prevent it from getting worse, aside from cleaning everything that is.

    I'm not certain about preventive measures, but from what I've read, it is often associated with contact with feces. I can look around later, but I don't remember any special stuff to keep it from occurring apart from keeping their environment clean, unfortunately. As for nipping it in the bud, a short soak in a weak antibiotic treatment may work. I hesitate to recommend antibiotics before being 100% certain they are the answer, since they can be very hard on the frog. I once treated a suspected red leg infection in multiple tadpoles and froglets, and not all of them survived, but I ended up with an antibiotic made for fish. Medicine intended for frogs isn't always easy to find, but if you can get it if recommend it.

    All the of them had this redness on them, but they haven't changed as far as how active they are. Found this guy like this, this morning. That a good sign, right?

    Nice! I'd continue to keep an eye on them though. Sometimes frog stomachs can turn temporarily pink with exercise but those legs in the second picture are pretty dark. As Bryce says, a clean environment plus a vet visit if things remain the same or self treatment if you must seems the way to go.

    One of the males is now completely white it appears. The female is mostly white with a little pink. The second male is mostly white as well, but he has gotten a little sluggish and that could be from the reduced tank size.
