my tank and wanted to know any suggestions on care and/or experience
anyone has with these...

I have two African Dwarf Frogs in a 30 gallon
long tank with small tropical fish, lots of plants
& driftwood. I found these two links helpful:
http://allaboutfrogs.org/info/mypets/dwarfs.html
http://www.fishpondinfo.com/frog4.htm

I feed my fish+frogs frozen brine shrimp
alternating with frozen bloodworms (both
thawed before serving) several times per
week. The rest of the time they get the usual
sinking pellets (for the Corys etc.) and
fine pellets (for surface feeders). I also give
the frogs HBH Frog & Tadpole Bites once
or twice a week. I've had them for several
years and they're doing fine.

off his skin? What do I do??

ADFs frequently shed their skin- may be nothing to worry about.

My Frog died... I found him belly up on the bottom this morning, and
thought he was ok, but my female sword was nipping at him and he
wouldn't move, so I grabbed my net and moved him, he was stiff as they
come..

Question is do you think he was attacked, or maybe my borderline
Nitrite/Nitrate levels killed him?

Just curious...
Did you happen to buy it at Petsmart?
They're having a sale recently at a dollar a frog, and MANY came in
with bloat.
Several stores in my area have many die on them before being sold, many
returned dead, and it doesn't seem to stopping.
Bloat is a common disease for these cuties.

I got it at PetCo, but maybe they use the same suppliers?... How could
I tell if it died of Bloat??..
