[promithius]

Well im worried now,i have 2 adf's in a 3g tank with 1 ghost shrimp. loverly guys, eating well. Lastnight all was fine, then when i check on em today one is slightly bloated on the stomach and is having trouble staying off the surface. I dont know the sex of them, any chance it could be pregnency? Im new to frogs so im not sure about it, and im dreading that its Dropsy, because the only vet in this town who does aquatics is p**s poor. help!

I have noticed that after a large feeding they can become extremely lethargic and downright lazy, floating at the top of the water so they dont have to come up for a sip. Have you feed them recently? Try to gently touch the frog with your finger, does it swim down to the bottom immediatley when you scare him?

my frogs are sometimes like this, i think thay may just have swallowed too much air or somthing, but my frogs always recover in a day or so.
