That's great news, Deliverance! A larger tank is always best. And you'll have room for more ADF's if you choose. Count for a minimum 2.5 gallons for each ADF. As far as the worry of your remaining frogger developing "red leg"... I think you're okay to observe first for any changes. We don't usually like to medicate unless there is actual evidence of a bacterial infection - as medicating without a cause could lead to future antibiotic resistance. The water quality will definitely play a large role in keeping him healthy. Also watch for any changes in behaviour (more lethargic, or darting around, gasping, hanging out at the top a lot) and appetite... as these are good indicators that something is brewing. And I think you'll also need a heater for the tank. Most heaters are rated for the appropriate size tank... but I think a 50watt will do a 10g nicely. The best heaters to get are the fully submersible ones with a temperature dial and the hard plastic casing. Some of us use the Stealth Visi-Therm heaters. They're awesome and not too expensive. Once you get those water testers... post the results and we'll work with you to get the water pristine (and it'll be more beneficial to test the water before a waterchange, not immediately after). In the meantime, ensure you're doing weekly 25% water changes and light gravel cleanings till we see where you are. Hang in there, Deliverance... hopefully, your remaining sweetheart will still enjoy a long, healthy and happy life with you! Michele
