I got two corydoras and an african dwarf frog to keep my betta company (and they all get along great).
Then I thought they all looked bored, so I put a bubbler in. And they've all been having fun floating through it, being pushed to the surface, just generally having a great time.
About a week ago the frog started doing it too, in a way. Except instead of swimming all through it, he just floats around aimlessly. Looking very dead. It's not like he's staying right side up, he's literally floating aimlessly. Just when I think he's dead, he lands on something and springs himself away using his feet back into the water to float around some more.
Anyone else have a frog that does this? I've had a few african dwarf frogs before this one, and they mostly just hung out quietly somewhere all day. So this behavior's a huge change to me.
Biggest worry is when I see him stuck to the side of the filter. Then I think maybe he really is dead. No, and it's not even like he has trouble getting away from it. Could he seriously just be being lazy and resting on it, letting it's natural suction keep him there?

I don't know much about African Dwarf frogs.. I've never had them. I've thought about getting some at some point though, but I'm not ready for them yet. It sounds like it is quite amusing to watch! You should record it! biggrin He very well could be being quite lazy. XD

My personal frogs don't do that but at our store they do this ALL. THE. TIME.
Customer: I think this frog is deaaad...
Me: He's probably just--
Customer: No really, this frog is dead!
Me: Well, alright. *Grabs net and gets near frog*
Frog: NO NO I WAS JUST PLAYING I'M NOT DEAD!
Customer: Oh!! I guess you were right.

my frog likes to just float around, spread eagle, and I'm always worried he's croaked, no pun intended, but then he suddenly springs to life.
