    Seconding that you seem to be doing the right things. That's a bad nose wound but as far as I can tell it doesn't look infected. Just keep an eye on it, maybe dab with antibiotic ointment if it starts looking worse.

    You might want to look into "chromomycosis". That fungi can cause gray bumps on the skin. I'm not sure how good this information is, but I found this site which describes various types of fungal infections and how they look: http://frogworld.net/health/fungal-infections.html

    You might want to see if any antifungal treatments for fish are available in nearby pet stores.


    (Also be aware the frogs might try to eat some of the smaller things in the tank. Maybe not the fish, some people are able to keep frogs and fish together with no harm, but maybe the crabs or snails. Frogs have been known to try to eat rocks before!)

    Just thought I’d send a little update that things are going well ☺️ The nose wound is healing nicely, they’re eating crickets & acting pretty normal I think. Those strange spots are still there, unchanged since they arrived. I haven’t been able to find specific information about spots like this, but the skin around them doesn’t seem to be inflamed or broken, so for now I’m going to assume they’re some kind of scar tissue or skin anomaly in this species.

    If if anyone knows anything more specific about Chinese gliding frogs/ flying frogs, I’d love your advice!

    I was also wondering about the idea temeature to keep them? Any ideas? Right now the viv is about 75-78*, but during the day their color turns to dark green. Is that normal, or could it be temp is too cold? Any suggestions?

    (Ps I also took the small crabs out of the tank. The frogs didn’t seem to care about them, but I thought better to be on th safe side. All the other little critters are either under the the water or OK for the frogs to eat)

    Oh good. I thought the dots on top might be fungal, but scar tissue is possible as well.

    I'm not sure about the temp, honestly. I need to go do some research.
