African Dwarf Frog help!

My ADF over the last month has a large white solid bump on back and leg. Has seemed to only grow larger. Not fuzzy but solid. Any idea on what that is??

@Seisage you may know

Thanks @CassCats for looping in @Seisage! Let me know if you have any questions!

I have three ADF, two are about a year old and one about 6 months old. The one with the bumps is one year old.

Checked water levels and everything is as it should be. I also have added tannins, water conditioner and aquarium salt when doing my weekly water changes.

Tank is 10 gallons, and has 1 betta and 5 tetras (as well as the 3 ADF)

It looks like a cyst or similar, I've kept ADF's for a long time but not encountered this so not 100% sure.

If it isn't growing or inhibiting the frog I wouldn't worry too much about it. If it does grow larger or the frog stops eating you may need to consider euthanasia.

BTW aquarium salt shouldn't be used with frogs, if you can I'd dilute this out by 10% water change twice daily until you're confident it's gone. I've learned the hard way that keeping fish and frogs together can often cause issues when you need to medicate one or the other as lots of fish meds are toxic to frogs.

I'm not very good at diagnosis but is there anything where it could have been injured? If that is ruled out my guess would be tumors but, like I said, just a guess.

thanks guys! No injuries that I can tell, and will start to filter out the aquarium salt.

Would adding Kanaplex help if its an infection of some sort?

It can be hard to say for sure, a quick Google gave me mixed results. You could try contacting the manufacturer to check if it's safe, I've done that in the past for medication when I was unsure.
