Hi and welcome to Frog Forum!
Looks like BossFrog has given you a lot of great information on becoming a successful ACF keeper. I been keeping ACFs for over 30 years and like to add some additional...
The most logical reason why toads and many frogs in general eat their skin is for the nutrient value. If you keep your toad in good health and fed properly, there will be no need for the toad to eat...
Looks like a nice male!
Welcome to Frog Forum! Enjoy your stay. There are plenty of knowledgeable frog keepers.
Your frog looks healthy, large clear eyes, skin not too tight or loose. It looks like natural coloring to me.
I really don't think toads get lonely, however fire belly toads seem to do well in small colonies. If you don't have room for two, just enjoy the one you have.
It is probably a skin blemish. I wouldn't worry too much. Watch for any significant changes in color, size or texture of the spot, it could be a sign of disease.
I don't see any sign of disease or injury. Often times the frogs will lie motionless with their arms extended. Just keep an eye out for any changes, bu right now he looks quite healthy.

I highly doubt that your frog will get ick. A healthy ACF has an effective slime coat in it skin that is designed to prevent many types of disease. However, I suggest that you remove the frog from...
For the most part, ACFs are quite tough. In the wild, they are known to leave their home pond and travel to another in an effort to seek better conditions. I would be concerned about the wounds. A...
I have not kept this species but I would think they could be kept in the same manner as frogs in the family Rhacophoridae. They are arboreal and appear to be foam nest builders. Good luck in your...
Most likely it's a male because of the yollowish around the legs. However, it is hard to tell until the dorsal stripe fades out. The stripe indicates it's still a juvenile.
Bloating among ACFs is quite common. Since they live in water constantly, sometimes there is an imbalance and the frog absorbs more water that it needs. A little salt is all that the frog needs to...

Hi Erica. You came to the right place to become a great frog mom!
Welcome to Frog Forum. Take time to explore the various forums, you will find many people who share your interests!
I think the problem is your diet. Feeding freeze-dried "anything" can harm aquatic frogs. I suggest feeding one of the pellet foods that are available, like Repto-Min. Nightcrawlers are very much...
Males:
Slightly smaller then a female
Skinnier in the body then a female
Post Axillary Subdermal Gland – small glad behind each armpit, can be whiteish or pinkish in color. (looks like a...
My first choice would be a dwarf clawed frog. Easy to care for and one would fit in a 2 gallon tank. They just need clean water and a good pellet fish food or similar. Temperature about 75 degrees. A...
Dan has given great advice on using vitamins and minerals to amphibians. I am a former amphibian keeper at the Omaha Zoo. We took care of many species of amphibians that are on the critically...
