My ADF has had white splotches on it for about two days now. I thought it was shedding its skin, but it does not appear so. He's eating and acting just fine....

Here's a pic: http://img29.imageshack.us/i/0829092049.jpg/


Is it a fungus? How can I treat it?

I've become really attached to the little guy... Please help me save him...



Thanks so much!!
 
It's hard to tell from the pic... if it's acting perfectly fine, I would keep an eye on it, and do extra water changes. Meanwhile, see if you can figure out what it is, so if it gets worse, you can properly treat it. I can't be much help with the diagnosis on this one...

Apparently there is a frog-specific fungus called Chytrid that will look alot like the frog is shedding, and a standard anti-fungal (make sure it is frog-safe) should cure it. That is based solely on a little googling, so take it for what it's worth.

yeah after a couple days it definitely would have molted already if that's what it was. I would look into the fungus hebily mentioned. I've kept many ADFs but have never experienced this personally. I would go to google if I were you.
