A photo would really help people see if your frog looks ill. Hope he is all better soon.
    Unfortunately, the front camera on my phone is broken. It still works but the pictures aren't the best quality :/ I will try to post a picture soon but I'm not sure if it will be helpful

    The frog is bloated, no picture, but its pretty clear from your description and because of the bloating he sits the way you described. Now there could be a few reasons for this to happen... and one of them jumps right away when i hear “bioactive tank”.
    Most common causes: impaction or infection or both, other causes could be kidney failure and some others. Now how to deal with that if possible and how to help depends of the cause, so first of all - when the frog ate last when did he pooped last if known? What are you feeding them? How long do you have them? How the quarantine was done? What is the husbandry? Where there recent substancial changes in temperature? What kind of water are you using? What are you feeding, how ate you feeding, what is dusting regime and what are you using. Picture of the tank would be very helpful.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
