U need to quarantine you sick one in a separate enclosure away from the other one. I'm not sure what could be wrong with your frog, but maybe you should go see a vet before something more happens.
How long have you had them? What kind of substrate are u using?

im using the humas brick and i have only had them for 72 hrs now I mean seriously shouldn't be sick right now

One cause of seizures in frogs is a calcium deficiency. You should dust your food items with a good Ca supplement before feeding. Other possibilities could be parasites or liver damage. A vet could analyze a fecal sample to determine if the frog is infected. Liver damage may be the result of overfeeding. In any case, you should seek an advice of a vet. If a vet isn't nearby, check with the biology department at a nearby college or high school and see if they can analyze the sample.

Do you have a picture? Light/neon green spots are usually the sign of a bacterial infection, which can quickly become serious if left untreated. I would suggest getting in touch with a vet who has experience treating amphibians immediately. If you cannot find one locally, you can email Dr. David Frye at dr.frye.vetatmilan@gmail.com with a picture of the problem and he can prescribe medication accordingly.

I also agree that you should quarantine the sick frog in a separate tank or container to prevent spreading the sickness to the other frog.

Don't be surprised, but "brand new" pets tend to have the most problems as their living conditions at the pet shop and prior might be anywhere from inadequate to deplorable.

well sad to say the frog was dead this morning I quarnteened him/her and did what u guys suggested but it was dead I have never had an animal be sick right after i got it like that very disappointed

Sorry to hear about your frog. One of the problems that frog keepers face is how well these animals are kept by the pet shops. Most likely the frog was wild caught. They are known to have diseases or infections. The fact that some pet shop people do not know how to care for these animals, they often times suffer. Try to find a reputable breeder nearby or look in the ads for a reptile and amphibian breeders expo - they usually have a wide variety of animals for sale.
