I just got 3 adfs from my lfs last night. Two seem to be doing fine, but I noticed that one never came up to the top of the tank. I left him alone, thinking maybe he just needed a little time to chill out, but this morning he was at the bottom of the tank belly up! I figured I had lost him in the night but when i picked him up he moved around in my hand and put his head up as though gasping for air. I have him propped up in a bit of net so that he is closer to the surface with a bit of hikari cracker. Is there anything I can do? Or should I just let him go...
 
I have the opposite problem. I have one that I put in the tank last night and he just floats at the top. You might want to search adf and read the thread about the fungus common to ADF's. There is a pretty good description in the thread. It is in the Freshwater Newbie forum. If it is the fungus all three of your frogs may have it since it is very contageous. Or he could just not adjust well to the tank.
