    Here's an update. I have the filter turned back on. Both yesterday and today she ate some pellets that I dropped into the tank. (Though a lot of the pellets ended up in between the pebbles) As for the 'prolapse' it hasn't gotten bigger but it hasn't gotten smaller either. I'm beginning to wonder if that's just her lady parts I'm seeing. Does anyone have a picture of a female and of an ACF prolapsing, so I can see the difference please?

    This is not a good thing to have with a tank that is not cycled. (in actuality this is not a good thing period.)
    un-eaten food will cause major water quality problem. ( think about leaving a egg salad sandwich in your room for a day or so.)

    You can remove the un-eaten pellets with a siphon. All you need is some tubing and a bucket.

    To get the siphon started with out using your mouth. just put enough water in the bucket to submerge
    the tubing and get all air out of the tubing and place your finger over one end of the tubing and take the other end of the tubing and put that in the tank and have the bucket on the floor and take your finger off the tubing the siphon will start.

    just guide the end of the tube over the top of the un-eaten pellets and it will draw them up and out.
    just be careful to not take out too much water.

    This is another reason I like a sand substrate either white or black so the food can be seen easily by the frog.
    they have poor eyesight.
    And it is easy to keep clean.


    You might want to get rid of one of those ornaments and replace it with a fake coconut hut hide or any type of place it can hide in.
    these frogs are very timid and can get spooked really easy and need places to hide to feel safe.
    In actuality it can be as simple as a pice of slate propped up against the side of the tank as long as the slate is not sharp or jagged.

    I moved everything around in the tank to open up some hiding areas. Also I think I will get the water tested today.
