The tests came back good. I will be honest, no I do not have an at home testing kit, but maybe it would ease my worries if I did. I use a dechlorinator that I bought either at Petsmart or Petco. I use to use it for my Betta Fish, it is Aqueon brand water conditioner. The water in my area has a "rep" to being pretty awful, so I would never not use it.

He also has literally not issues eating, yawning, I don't notice any of these symptoms at all and the coloration doesn't seem to really look like Red Leg. I just am paranoid. I got this frog partially because my parents act as if I can't take care of pets. He was an impulse buy in a way, but I really really care for him and want him to live a long happy life.

Right now, I just feed him Bloodworms. I know that can cause Bloat over a period of time so I want to get some reptomin tablets.

I don't want to make a whole 'nother thread about this. It's about HOW to go about feeding him. I have googled this multiple times and even looked on Youtube to little help. Like I said he is a GREAT eater. I actually hand-feed him. He will eat mostly from my hand or if I place it in front of him. Now that I have a larger tank, it is much less feasible for me to do this every day. I have seen frogs just come to the top for food, which would be ideal seeing how the Bloodworms don't sink. But some other ones will just eat sinkable tablets? Do those exist? What is the exact name of those and where can I buy them? I just bought a long tweezer off Amazon and it will be shipped soon, but I'd rather him just eat off the bottom. I tried a turkey baster to make it move, but he didn't really go for that. My parents will also be taking care of him for 1-2 semesters of college and I KNOW they will not hand-feed him willingly. So I am wondering if there's a way to "train" him to come to the top, or if maybe there's certain types of foods he will just go for on his own.

Thank you for any help. You guys have been a big help so far!
No way to take the frogs with you to college? I don't think many dorms mind. My girlfriend kept a goldfish when she lived in a dorm. It is just travel that is usually a stress.

Have you cycled your tank or used anything to help cycle it?

How big is your frog? Maybe you should try some feeders on it, like worms, crickets, or roaches that are the small enough for them to eat. They have a great sense of movement and scent. Doing things like this isn't only nutritional, but will get their instinct going.
There are sinking pellets, but I find those to be mainly a mess. Reptomin floats on top then sinks so it usually gets your frog's attention.
