Are you adding anything to it? Too much, too little? Post by yk I finally figured out that the dose of amquel I was using to dechlorinate the water was too high.

Dwarf frogs need a cycled tank. Thier skin is very delicate and the ammonia and nitrites of a cycling tank can kill them. Other than that some floating is normal, but if he is having too much trouble something is wrong. First you need to feed a varity of foods. Bloodworms along is not a good diet and will cause problems.
If you are new to dwarf frogs what you see as a problem staying down may very well be normal. Keep an eye on him. Is he eating okay? He did eat this evening. And just now checked on him and hard to tell which frog is which but but I think it was him floating at the top for a few mins, then doing some sort of cute balancing act on the leaf of a plant. Hopefully I'm just not used to their 'normal' and he is doing well.
I'll keep watching - although not sure what I'll do if I think he's not normal. What else do you recommend I feed them? Can they eat earthworms? Thanks again, Frances. Another thing is while I'm sure any care sheet you wrote told you not to fill the tank completely, if you have a HOB filter and don't fill it to the lip on the filter or a little below the rushing current will feel like getting sandblasted to the frog.
It will probably need to be restricted somewhat. What you describe could also be a symptom of bloat, ADF's can suffer from dropsey just as fish do but without the pine cone symptom and more in the hind region and legs. If his legs start swelling then be worried but more than likely smaug is dead on.
Especially when there smaller they have a limited ability to hold theirselves down. I have never had problems with filters and frogs. Normal current is fine. If you want to cut up earthworms, they would be fine for the frogs to eat. Maybe a very large female at two inches. Foods you can feed are any of the frozen foods like zooplankton, daphnia, glassworms, fish eggs and any other meaty food.
