Hi, thanks for responding!



20 gallon hexagon tank, power filter, places to hide, fake plants and gravel. I do 50% water change once a month. Always use a conditioner after the water change, Tetra Aquasafe. She has been a safe, happy and active girl for almost 10 years. I got her as a "gag" Xmas gift for a coworker in 1999, and he can't believe she's still alive!,....for now! From the fish bowl I received her in, she went to a 2 gallon hex tank, 10 gallon hex tank, 20 gallon hex tank, all with a power filter. Have always had the water change, conditioning routine throughout the years. Same diet I described before, plus occaisional cricket, groud beef, worm. She has had a fungal infection before, I treated it with Melafix from A.P.I. That's also what I'm using on her now. After researching, I think she had bloat recently, one side of her abdomen stuck out, but went down in the last 3 weeks. It's just really wierd! On Monday she seemed fine, but didn't want to eat. Tuesday when I turned on her tank light, I thought she was dead! She used to be a dark mottled green brown, at the time she was almost white, nonresposive and lethargic! Now after a water change and Melafix she seems to move at least, has a little more color to her. She doesn't seem to have any lesions, bubbles in her fins between her toes, silky attachment to her, her eyes are clear. She just seems to be not bloated in her abdomen now, pale, no appetite, and not as energetic! No red of pink discoloration to her legs, but she does seem to rest and float with her left side higher than the other now. One website said she might have had a heart attack or kidney failure! Any guidance and input you could give would be greatly appreciated! I'm trying to cure a problem, that I'm not sure what the cause is! The thing that sucks the most is that she's part of the "family" just like the 7 year old paraplegic dog, and the 8 year old guinea pig, who we all love, and have both cost us more than we want to admit, in treatments and surgeries! There's just the learning curve that we, (I) , don't know too much about frogs! Thanks again for your help!
