Bit of a bummer, I had moved my african dwarf frogs out of my main tank while I used worming medication on my fish as they were showing symptoms. I kept the frogs out much longer than recommended by the manufacturer and did extra water changes to help dilute the meds out once I'd finished treatment.
I put my frogs back in yesterday, three weeks total since last medication dose, and when I went to feed them in the evening one was floating at the top with slight signs of bloating/dropsy and he wouldn't eat. I know dropsy is almost always fatal in ADF's but I lived in hope as he only had a tiny bloat. Couldn't find him this morning but went to the shop to get some benzocaine in case I needed to euthanise him. I've found him still floating at the top, the bloat is completely gone but he's very much dead. Can't have been dead long from the look of him. He'd always been a bit on the skinny side even though I'd made sure he got extra food so I did wonder if there was something wrong with him, but he'd always been active and eager to eat until yesterday.
Now I have 2 ADF's remaining, I know they prefer to be in larger groups but I'm hesitant to get any more after this experience.
Anyway, not much point to this thread, just a bit gutted I lost another frog. One also completely disappeared from the holding tank they were in so I'm two down overall and a bit bummed out!
