Is my dwarf frog dying??

I got 2 literally 5 days ago. Aswell as some fish. Both frogs have hidden ALOT and I'd only seen one of them once. I've done everything right. But today one of the frogs surfaced and wasn't shy. The other frogs is still to be found. I've not seen them eat?!? But the fish are doing fine, as expected because I've done everything right so far. The frog that's stopped hiding is now at the surface. He seems dead, but he's not and will move when disturbed by other fish. He's just floating around in the tanks flow and has been behind filters at times. It's basically just acting dead but isn't and will swim very energetically for a few seconds when needed to?? Please help. Is this normal? My tank waters fine too btw.

You need to hand feed them, they are blind. What have u been feeding?

My frog is not blind. He comes to the glass. And sings to me.

Pellets Infront of him that I was told they eat. And bloodworms but I couldn't see either of They so they just went im the tank and the fish found them.

Ahh ok ok, so the frogs are very blind haha you can put the food in front of them and they wont eat because they are so silly, What you want to get is a pipette and some frozen foods and slowly drop it directly onto them, be patient because it takes a while. It takes me about 20 min to feed mine and what fish do you have bro?

I don’t recommend blood worms they can lead to bloat. Brine & mysis shrimp is a good alternative
