Hello!
I am new one in this forum and thas whay I dont know if anyone will answer my message...
We have african claw frogs in 15 L tank.
They have more than 13 years... But about 2 weeks ago, feamale frog dissapeared!
Before it, they layed some tadpoles and one tadpole is live for this moment... but at start, they where 12...
Now we have some big problem... Our frog is some kind of ill!?
He have hypodermatic effusion of blood in some places on body!!!
And he is very lazy!!! It just started couple of hours ago! We looked ad him hour ago and then, after hour he had those blood spots!!! He is "hanging" in top of tank and dont moving...
We where washing his tank and he lived in 3 L bottle for some days before it...
When we saw those blood spots, we moved him in tank and changed water, set a water filer and he started to move silently...

I dont know what happend!!! That frog have lived with us ALL MY LIFE!!! It is weery sad... If anyone can tell me what is wrong PLEASE! HURRY!!!

PS: Sorry for my bad language... I am latvian...

of course NOT!!!

Now I am searching for new ACFs... We have only one tadpole... We want other two ACF... male and femme
But, in Latvia, it's hard to find them, they are only in ZOO
