Noticing one of my two African Dwarf Frogs is just hanging around the surface sideways. This isn’t something I’d seen either do prior to a few days ago.

Is this normal, or an indication of sickness?

Did a 40% water change about 5 days ago. Other tank mates are various snails, Corydoras, and tetras.

Hey, my 6 month old ADF has been dull
in colour for a while, one of his older tank mates recently passed hence I'm now worried it could be a larger issue as he was also on the more pale side. Thanks guys.

Starting this 20 gallon long and letting it grow in before I get some frogs in a few months (I will be cycling the tank). I have Anubias, Banana Plant, Java fern, Java moss, water sprites, and pearl weed. I will not be using any fertilizer for them, we’ll see how they do. I will also be adding another hide or two.
The floating plants aren’t doing very well. I don’t know if they’re just adjusting or if the condensation from the lid is killing them. I think they’re frog bit?
I can’t wait to get a few froggies, it will be a species only tank 🥰

So, 2 males and a female in the photo. I am cutting back on food but I worry that the males aren't eating enough. Does anyone know if it's normal for females to be THIS round? I know they are bigger than males and carry eggs, but I've had females before and they were never this round. Should I be concerned? Do you think it's the amount of food? The eggs? Maybe a health condition?

For context they are in a 10 gal tank, just 4 frogs, 3 males and the female, and there's high likelihood that they are siblings (I cared for them since they were eggs/tadpoles, their parents have passed away since). I feed them about 2 pinches of adf food pellets a day.

So a little insight on this, I worked at a store that stopped selling these guys 4 years ago and they got them in a tank, took care of them and then forgot them 7 months ago. There were no water changes, or cleanings, and horrid overfeeding. I took them home but this guy was floating, unable to sink, and his left side was like really bloated and boyant. I started him on epsom salt baths, Erythromycin, and a hospital tank, but please help me diagnose him, and reccomend treatment options. Its been 2 days since I got him and 6-8 days since he started floating I guess. He, or she, also seem a tiny bit lethargic, but they move when they need to or want to.

Would this be safe for ADFs if it was rinsed and capped with fine sand? I'm also open to soaking it beforehand to prevent an ammonia spike. I am worried about my plants getting enough nutrients since most fertilizers can't be used with frogs but at the same time these guys absorb everything. I've heard very mixed reviews.

I have four in this tank

haven't gotten a good look at the other one recently. I'm hoping they're both boys like I've been assuming the past year. their names are sine and cosine (pictured).

internet told me these are probably harmless protozoa. I just want to make sure they won't hurt my african dwarf frogs. anyone recognize either?

I’m not sure that they were like this yesterday, only had them for a month or so. Any ideas? They’ve been tucked in like this all day

Hi everyone. I’ve had 2 ADF’s for the past 4 years. Just changed them to a new tank yesterday and I realized today that the filter flow seems too high and is scaring them to one side of the tank. The next issue is the water is leaking. I’m not sure where it’s coming from but I assume we need to replace the tank. Can anyone let me know the best thing to do for the filter issue while we figure out a new tank? For now I lined paper towels around the tank and unplugged the filter since this one doesn’t have any flow options. Thank you for any advice!

(sorry for the low quality) what could have caused this and how do i help

Looked over at the tank and saw her training for the uprising… it’s only a matter of time…
