Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I've had my ADFs for a year now, and they have done really well, so far - two in a 10 gallon tank. They were VERY fat and sang and attempted mating. Lately they're lethargic and aren't eating. Both are getting very thin - one is almost always hiding. At least one of them is shedding. Nothing has changed in food or environment. Is it wintertime? Do they go through a slowdown? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Do they have any tankmates?What is the temp of the tank?What have you been feeding them.What is the ammonia/nitrate readings?

>>Do they have any tankmates?What is the temp of the tank?What have you been feeding them.What is the ammonia/nitrate readings?

There were two of them (one male, one female, I think) in a 10 gallon. Temp is kept at 76F. The only thing they would ever eat are those sinking pellets for bottom feeders. They used to attack them like sharks, but they haven't been eating lately. I checked the ammonia and nitrate readings just now - nitrate is zero, but ammonia was .25, which is odd since I just did a 50% water change two days ago.

Sadly, one of the frogs was dead this morning when I got up. Any suggestions for helping the other? Besides getting the ammonia back down, anyway... Thanks!

you may try a block of frozen brineshrimp, most fish stores and larger pet stores carry them, there are also these foods called frog tadpole bites, they are sinking pellets you might want to try ($3.99 canadian)

No, so far the other one is still hanging in there. I've tried the frog bites - no luck. They won't touch them. I'll check for the frozen blocks. Thanks for the suggestion!!

Sorry I didn't reply right away,but yeah those frog bites are worthless.Give the frogs a variety.Mostly frozen food.Try spirilla enriched brine shrimp.mysis shrimp,bloodworms,tubiflex worms,white worms,glass worms.Also if you can get them in your region try live blackworms.
