i was reffering to the albino African Clawed frog...

I'm thinking maybe Xenopus tropicalis

I am not sure what that is but am guessing it is an afc that is sick.

from what i have read and seen it seems to be an albino acf with a severe case of dropsy. i hope someone proves me wrong because that would be a sweet looking frog to have!

I sent the person a message asking about the frog, so far no response.

It might be sick, but i'm almost positive only fish can get dropsy.

I agree. That's not dropsy. It isn't a fish...
I really don't think it's sick at all. The only "symptom" it seems to have is being very "puffy", but that's a normal trait of other Xenopus species (I believe there are around a dozen species besides laevis). At least a couple have been captive bred to the point that they have probably created an albino strain.
