Hi this is my first post so sorry if I post this wrong!
I have a Marineland Hex 5 Tank (5 Gallon). It has built in filtration, and it has a light that I keep on for probably 8 to 10 hours a day depending on my schedule. I have a crowntail betta in there along with two african dwarf frogs. I've had them for about a month. I feed them freeze dried bloodworms daily. I also have a tank heater that keeps it at 78, and I have the normal gravel, tank decorations, and a couple plastic plants. I spoil them pretty well but in the last couple days I've become worried.
One of my frogs has been pretty pale since I bought her (I'm almost positive both my frogs are female) but recently has become even paler, lethargic, and won't eat. I was handfeeding my frogs for awhile (and still occasionally do) while trying to get them used to eating in the big tank (and because the betta loves to eat everything in sight). While my healthy frog has become more peppy than ever lately my sickly frog won't stop hiding in one of my tank decorations. I get her to leave and put her in a net in the top of the tank filled with food and can't get her to eat. I've tried everything to feed her and it won't work. I'm getting really really worried. Any advice on what to do?
Also around the same time she started getting sick my tank started growing algae, which I didn't find that weird because it was about time for that to start happening anyway but I'm mentioning it in case it helps someone out.
So yah some advice would be wonderful. I'm trying to go to petco today to pick up another kind of food to try with her, and possibly some medicine, if anyone has any advice I'd love it.
Thank you everyone.
