Default African Dwarf Frog floating on top of tank :(

(Sarah) wrote in message om...
Is it possible that the frog aquired some sort of parasite from their
food? I have ADFs keeping my beta company and I'm curious to know if
that might be the cause.


Looks like my post was lost, so if this ends up being a repeat, please
ignore. Poor Floaty died. If there were parasites they came from the
store as he became ill so quickly after purchase. I use only
commercial food so I hope that it is clean. I do think that the
freeze dried blood worms )as opposed to the frozen) might have caused
some gas bubbles in the other frogs (one in particular would eat a few
freeze dried worms and then almost immediately pop to the top and
float for an hour or two) but that problem was solved by soaking the
worms before feeding, feeding less often and using the frozen food
more often.

Thanks for the help from everyone.
