I don't think it's an ammonia issue-- my ammonia is at about .10, pH is about 7.4. I picked up some stuff to lower pH but I don't want to raise ammonia by doing so, so I'm only doing a little at a time. I'm being very picky about tank cleanliness, using my gravel vacuum every other day to get old food out. I lowered the temperature in the tank to about 75F because I heard that bacteria grows faster in warmer temps. Light is always off except for feeding time. I can't tell you exactly how many gallons I'm replacing with water changes, as I'm using a children's beach bucket, but it only lowers about an inch of water in my 10gal tank. I use Prime to lower ammonia/chlorine/metals/etc in water. I do water changes about once a week... should I increase that? Whatever I'm doing is at least improving his situation, as he's more active and eating a tad more. Not sure if it's a FIX though.

I have an African Dwarf Frog in the tank as well, should I quarantine? Also, how do I "remove the active carbon" from my filter? I always rinse it under water before I put a new one in... Is that it? Or do I need to do something else? I don't want the medication to be ineffective because of my filter. :/
