Acf Behaving Strangely

[BLONDBIRD]

My Albino ACF was thrusting himself around last night and then threw up the entire contents of his stomach which he had filled 8 hours earlier, then the dirty ratbag was trying to stuff it back in his mouth, I managed to get some of it out with a net but he beat me to most of it, Is this normal behaviour for him? Also he seems to thrust himself backwards and pull this white whispy slimey stuff over his head and into his mouth and I dont know if that is normal behaviour.
Does anybody have any answers for this?

I don't know about the vomiting, but I am pretty sure the 'white whispy stuff' is probably him, shedding his skin. My ADFs are frequently seen ripping off their 'face' and stuffing into their mouthes. Sometimes, if they aren't careful, another ADF steals it.

I'm not sure how many ACF owners there are, on here. Have you gone to www.fluffyfrog.com yet? It's a pretty good ACF site, although I admit I haven't actually been looking for ACF sites.

I have been on the fluffyfrog.com site, I found it very funny, perhaps I will try there for some answers, thanks for your help soritan, I thought that he might be shedding his skin but he seems to be doing it every other day which was why I was unsure.

Every other day is probably too frequent to be healthy. If I were in your place, I'd probably have the test kits out and testing his water parameters, to make sure there aren't any spikes that could adversely affect his health. I imagine with skin as delicate as that of an aquatic frog, too much of any one toxin would cause a great deal of skin irritation.

I hope someone else wanders in with better answers than me.



I really prefer my ADFs.

ACFs gently creep me out.

I have a Nitrite and a ammonia water tester left from when I had fish I will use these first then perhaps pop out to my local Aquatic place to see what they suggest, thanks again.
The ACF didnt eat my fish they had died and I decided to replace them with something more interesting to watch. Glad I did because my visitors love my new pets.
