fuzzy froggy

Our frog was getting a might fuzzy (he had a fungus)  So I did some research and came up with a lot of things that we were doing wrong.  
1.  he was swimming in a toilet, meaning his tank was too small and I wasn't changing the water enough
2.  I was feeding him too often therefore, his excess food was creating a fungus
3.  We weren't treating the water.  The waste the frog has creates ammonia, which to anyone is harmful, and to out little guy it was no good. 
4.  We  were feeding him Beta food, which is basically crap dog food to a dog.  He needed blood worms (so discusting... good thing they are frozen)
5.  The other frog we had with him died shortly after we got him... sad but true.  We were lucky this one didn't die, we have had him since July 2008.  



Here is the before situation in his little prison



here we are in the after situation!  I am happy to announce that this little guy can live up to 15 years if he is taken care of properly and his fuzz is now a thing of the past!  Now... to name him.... any suggestions???

Fluffy?

It was a classic lizard name in our house, and post fungus, it seems fitting.
