That black streak is a pad to allow them to grip a large slimy lady friend...Either the weather is cold or you changed the tank with cold water. Keep them room temperature and it will change back to normal. Until then, enjoy their love songs.

Hi,
It may be the beginning of nuptial pads. You mat have 2 male frogs, how old are they? It doesn't sound like anything serious.
