She wears her food as a hat and then goes crazy with it (frozen krill food)

i would say he lives a normal life and doesnt struggle i dont understand why he swims like this the water is fine he eats a high protein diet of mysis brine daphnia and mosquito larva and as a treat some live blackworms and i watch him eat every time i feed if anyone knows the issue please let me know and how to solve this

So they have the aqueon smart clean filter it doesn’t have the temp regulator, there is three sprouts of red fern (I recently trimmed one because it was a bit dead) and some moss. There is also the plant that’s tall in the back not sure what it’s called. We used the sand substrate stuff from petsmart. The little hideouts are stable but if getting an actual put together one is better we’re willing to improve in whatever way necessary. It’s not clean rn either, we need to implement a system to actually be able to clean said sand. But rn we have two babies in there one is 4 months the other is new not too sure how old. I believe the first one is a female because she’s pear shaped and the new one looks slim so could be a boy but not sure. However I want to make this tank setup very easy to maintain and clean but also the best possible environment for them. Please send any and all recommendations! The light can be adjusted to be a lower brightness as well and only goes for 8 hours and turns “night” light on for 2 and it’s off the rest of the time. The filter is on a low stream since they don’t swim well. I put one of the ferns right by the intake so they don’t get stuck on it and to make sure the flow isn’t too strong. I also do water changes at least weekly too! I was just out sick for a week and came back to the tank very green so I spot cleaned as much as possible. This unfortunately is already an upgrade from how they were taking care of her before but I want to give them the best life. So please help and send any and all recommendations!

I am new to keeling african dwarf frogs, and I love the two that I have. I am planning to get a third frog, and I already have another tank ready to quarantine the new frog. However, my smaller frog (named little dingus) has developed a bloated stomach. He is much slower than my other frog(named big chungus) who loves to swim all around the tank, and goes crazy during feeding time. Little dingus prefers to stay at the bottom, and is much less enthusiastic about feeding time, however he still eats a lot. I feed them frozen mysis and brine shrimp every other day. I recently did a water change, and everything was perfectly fine. Even though little dingus is a slower swimmer, he is still able to get to the surface to get air. I am worried he could have bloat or another serious issue. If you have any idea what could be going on with my frog, please help!!

It's been almost a year since I had my first frog dropped on me, and I've never been more happy to have an unexpected animal! Taking care of the frogs and having a feeding + cleaning routine has also helped me regulate my own schedule a little better. Listening to them sing at night makes me feel accomplished too, lol.

Going back through my pictures, I'm only just now realizing how awfully skinny Beau was when I first got him (first 2 pics were how he arrived ☹️). Now he's fattened up significantly, and is still very healthy and active! I've added a couple of plants, accidentally killed a couple by burying them too deep, and now I have 3 really strong Amazon Swords and 2 Red Tiger Lotuses that the frogs like to hang out in/on, plus some sprigs of grass and moss that I'm entirely forgetting the names of. I also added a better heater/thermometer, much larger rocks/gravel, and a couple of easily accessible/escapable hiding spots.

Frogs just might end up being my gateway drug for other aquarium species, they're so much fun to take care of!

Help any advice?

One snail in particular just likes to watch

I work at a pet store that receives adult adf relinquishes pretty often and have taken home quite a few to my species only tank. This girl’s appearance hasn’t improved in the past few months I’ve had her under proper care. I’m wondering if she looks healthy or if there’s anything I can do to help her? Specifically her eyes and body shape - I have mostly girls and ik they are curvy but her body seems different?

I just bought 6 African dwarf frogs,3 phantom tetras and 2 juli corydoras and I have them in this 20 gallon long (see picture) and all of them have been doing fine untill yesterday. 3 frogs died within the span of 6 hours, and I couldn't figure out why. I did multiple test strips and the nitrate looked fine , the nitrite looked fine, the pH was good. Everything looked normal but then this morning, I wake up and another one had died. And of course it's almost 2 weeks after I bought them so the guarantee has expired. I'm going back to the store I bought the. From today and seeing if they can do anything about it and see if they can test my water. I think it might be the chlorine in the water as my city water was recently extremely high in chlorine but I also think it is the ammonia levels due to the high waste level from the frogs. If you have any tips or what I should do please let me know as I am 14 and new to this.
