@Michael, thanks again! Can you recommend any good literature on caring for ACFs? Seems that care sheets are all over the place. Are these any good -

Those care sheets seem fine, though they seem to be focused more on the husbandry of X. Laevis as a lab animals, as pet owners we expect our frogs to live quite a bit longer.

One of the best caresheets can be found on Wet Web Media FrogsArtNeale if you read enough you'll start to realize that ACF/ADF should be kept more like fish than like a typical frog.

RSPCA, as you may know, is an animal welfare charity in the UK.
In the US we have the ASPCA, a very similar organization.

Also, is it worth purchasing lymnozyme to use during water changes to prevent red leg? Is it true that blood worms may carry infections that can harm frogs?
Medication should be avoided unless absolutely necessary, proper husbandry is the best prevention of red leg. Do weekly water changes and add a dechlorinator (like Prime) to tap water that has sat out for 24 hours and do not over stock your aquarium and red leg should never become an issue. Would it hurt to OWN some Lymozyme? Probably not but I would strive to never need to use it.

Your frogs are still quite young, they will get much larger, bolder and tame. When I first started keeping ACF I was a bit discouraged on how small/timid they were but now that my frogs are 4 inches or more now, they're swimming all over the place now.

I was in Chicago back in December, sadly it's about 4 hours away, I live much closer to St. Louis.
