I recently added a couple African Dwarf Frogs to my 29 gal community tank and it looks like one has come down with a bad case of bloat. I did a little searching on the internet and the prognosis doesn't look so good. As best I can find, it is usually either caused by a bacterial infection (highly contagious to other frogs, not sure about fish) or something like kidney failure that leads to edema and swelling.
I only have this one tank, no good option for quarantine, and am not sure there's much I can do to help. I'm posting here in hopes that someone has a recommendation. I'm nervous about putting antibiotics or salt in the main tank due to my other fish. And I don't have any spare equipment to set up a quarantine tank with filtration. Any thoughts?
My tank is 29 gallon standard dimensions and currently has 2 dwarf gouramis, 6 gold barbs, and 6 julii corydoras catfish. I know I'm probably pushing the stock limit, but I change the water frequently enough to keep the nitrates below about 30 ppm.
