Injured African Dwarf Frog?

One of my African dwarf frogs (newly acquired, so still very small) had a front and back leg stuck in the filter intake, and now is injured. I applied a net to the filter so it won't happen again, but the frog is unable to swim to the surface to get air, it just flips on its back. I now have it in a "hospital" tank with water shallow enough for it to put its head up and breathe. Does it have a chance for survival? How long does it take for an injury like this to heal?

    it fairly is an extremely good thought to absolutely examine each and each fish until now buying them. The above answer is easily magnificent! community can not coexist with semi-aggressive and aggressive. Goldfish do no longer belong in heated tanks. they're chilly water fish. Frogs want shrimp pellets. Frozen brine shrimp,in my opinion,are too unstable to put in your tank. i'm no longer attempting to be condescending yet you have plenty to verify approximately this interest. My suggestion is to easily decelerate and take one element at a time. study each little thing you could approximately what fish you have an interest in, introduce it into your tank,be conscious, study some greater, and upload something else later. It takes an prolonged time to have a longtime tank yet that's the completed relaxing of it! coming up yet another international you such as you may bounce into.

    I would say yes, as long as he doesn't move too much in the tank. I'm no expert on this, but check the link and make your own decision.
