ammonia burn and its really fat

ammonia burn and its really fat

she is well fed but I don't think there is ammonia burn as the first place that would be noticeable would be the gills, if there is skin issues underneath but nowhere else then it would be either a irritant or bacterial.

let's not be rude lol if it is ammonia burn what should I do? and so what do I do now? She will sometimes stop and turn pale again, I don't think she is sleeping when she does this because when I see her sleep just her gills go pale, and when she does this her whole body goes very very pale.

whats your ph, if you can measure the kh gh (easier to measure with drop then trying to work out colour on strips).
if she is going pale regularly then use either holtfreters or modified solution in the tank water as it could be anaemia caused by lack of salts and minerals.

WHAT ITS PREGNANT

WHAT ITS PREGNANT

amphibians produce eggs whether there is a male around or not, this is called being gravid. if the eggs aren't fertilised and laid they will be reabsorbed, this a done over around a month, or she could be just well fed.
your ph is good but I would still look into using a modified holfreters solution perhaps johns.

if it is anaemia it is caused by a lack in water hardness hence why I suggested using holtfreters to correct the waters salts and minerals.
if it is anaemia do not do tea baths as this is acidic and softens the water and may make the condition worse.
tea baths are used for anti-septic and bacterial/fungus issues.
