Default ADF death...skinny..little apetite.

I've had two ADF since the beginning of summer. They started in a 10 gallon for a few months before i switched them to my 20 gallon. They've been in there for 2 or 3 months. One of them gradually getting skinnier. He was practical skin and bones yesterday. Today I noticed he was on his back. Still moving, but not using his arms. Took him up for air incase he couldn't get up and tried to feed him. No luck. Sorry to say hes passed away... I thought it could be a a parasite. dunno. I've seen him eat just presently...so it wasn't starvation. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Probably just hasn't been eating. What else do you have in the tank? And have you seen him eat lately?

Maybe he wasn't eating enough for a 20tall tank? That's a long way to swim up to get air

Maybe so. He's been small start start with and didn't grow like the other. Other is huge. Next time i get one I'll be sure to get a big one. Thanks for the help.

Yeah no problem! Bloodworms are great for them as for growing.

praqctically, female frogs are larger than males, so maybe he was a male and the other was a female. if you want breeding options you should try to get a male
