Clawed Frog Bloated

HI Michael,
Thanks for your response.
The fish was taken out of the primary tank and put into a secondary tank (this 5gal) to rest and sit by himself. To be honest, I am not sure what killed him. I think it was a type of fungus though based on the white tufty material he ended up getting on him. Two fish in that tank were picking on eachother and although I tried to seperate them in the tank, they both ended up dying. The fish was only in that tank for a few days. I think I would have to get at least new filter media but I am not sure how to clean the rest of the filter. I will take a look online. Have you ever had luck with that bacteria set up that they sell to add beneficial bacteria to water?
He still seems to be doing well and doesnt mind the tank. I just have to get a filter up and running and get that tank in good shape.

Its ok, I am very passionate about animals myself which is why I was very upset. I have actually stopped eating beef and pork and hope to cut out some others as well because I care about animals so much. My Aunt was an animal rights person and almost got arrested several times for standing up for dogs in cages at pet stores.
I really do try to keep all animals (water or land) healthy and happy but apparently I am a little better at land animals and need some more guidance on water creatures.. lol.

We will see how I do. Hopefully he will feel better soon.

Are you turning into a vegetarian purely out of principle or because you think that somehow you will stop people eating meat?

I don't want to be the reason that a pig or cow is killed. I actually have a potbelly pig too so it really doesnt make sense. Ultimately I am going to try to cut out Chickens and Turkeys as well but I have to take baby steps. I will not recommend that others follow me but they can if they would like. I also watched a movie called "forks over knives". If you haven't seen it I would recommend it. It was very interesting and was one of the reasons I am trying to cut animals out of my diet.
Needless to say I wont be eating frogs legs.. lol
