    Mine does this from time to time. I just figure it is exchanging water as it is always back to normal the next day. I have seen threads where they split that way also.

    Might be splitting that way. Google brown jelly disease as it may be that also, but I have no experience with that.

    Its not brown jelly.

    Brown jelly is a brown substance that cover the frogspawn and kills it..If your frogspawn gets that, then say goodbye to it IME, i tried everything to save my frogspawn from it.

    Agreed - mine seem to do this when splitting. I have noticed these bubbles consistently on different heads and the overall colony has only gotten bigger in about 9 months.
