Hi there,
Im feeling sad today my beloved clawed frog kermit died 2 nights ago. I am not sure why tho, his tummy was all bloated up and he keept floating to the top of the tank. I thought it was bloating desease but it looked different, it was just in his tummy area.. I removed him from my other frogs and placed him in a tank on his own, with some intrapet anti internal bacteria, i did this for a few days but it got no better, just got worse. I asked a guy in my local aquatic shop who keeps frogs and he said to turn the temp up i did this, and 2 hours later he died im proper gutted!! i love my frogs. the rest are all ok and kermit has never had any problems before. i will post a pic that i have. Does any one know what this could be? also could i of killed him by turning the temp up, i would feel terrible if i have because i was trying to help him .. any thoughts would be good. The nitrate,nitrite and ammonia are all fine, i did add 2 albino clawed frogs 2 weeks ago tho. Kermit was under a year old He does live with some other fish, ie parrot fish, catfish etc. and i have heared of frogs eating gravel by mistake, there is gravel in the tank but this has never happened before I have treated all my tanks with the intrapet anit internall bacteria just in case....
Many thanks
