I think my African Clawed Frog has had a stroke.
When I looked in on my frog Byers first thing this morning I found him on his back. I lifted him out of the tank and he gasped for air. I've put him in a little bowl of water so he can breathe. What else can I do?
He is 3 inches nv
18 months old
Lives in a 60 Liters tank
PH 7.6
Nitrate 5
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
No Substrate
Water Temp 25 C
Eats Crickets and fish pieces (Spiering stint Smelt Eperlan) feed 2 crickets or two pieces of fish every two-three days. He stopped eating reptomin.
Is in treated tap water treated with API Stress Coat (removes chlorine and Chloramines and replaces slime coat) & Tetra safe start or Nutrafin Cycle (Biological aquarium boaster)
Change the water weekly 30%
He's very listless, seems to be moving all limbs but couldn't swim well. I though he was died when i found him.
Can anyone suggest what I should do? He is sat in a mini take next to me at the moment and he is breathing but I'm no sure how long or if he will recover from this. |

I've not heard of anything like this before and it seems like you have been looking after im really well.
Probably a good idea to go to the vets if he doesn't recover within a few hours.
Keep us informed
Thanks. He is still fighting on. I am doing all I can. He is not swimming completely yet but is making progess. The vets is no use as these frogs only cost £4. I would take him because I don't want to lose him and don't care about the cost but the vet just has no experience with African Clawed Frogs.
I am remaining positive though.
