Well, almost.

Over the last 2 days my African clawed frog lost his ability to stay underwater. He was a little bloated and kept floating to the top and seemed to not be able to use one of his arms? He was acting wierd and I figured he was sick so I took him out of the main tank and put him in an isolation tank yesterday morning. Last night he was still floating helplessly at the top of the water and this morning when I woke up he was dead.
Can anyone tell me what happened? I saw that there are bloating diseases but all the frogs I saw seemed to be simply distended, and not having any trouble staying at the surface.

Ive never heard of anything like that before.
I have only had my frogs for a couple months.
I'm suprised no one has responded yet..... I'm sure someone will know something. this is a good website.
sorry I couldnt help.

yea, well.. he's long gone and I dont think that I'll be getting another anyway. He was too greedy and was always harassing my Pleccy.
