That might be part of the problem.
Frozen adult brine shrimp do not provide the proper nutrition for ADFs
(very empty calories)
and the salmon would be a bit rich.
Is there any way to get him on a more worm based diet? Bloodworms, blackworms, etc....?
The Baby brine shrimp have more nutrition than the adult for sure.

If the fungus is an issue, do 1 or 2 baths in the Lamisil.
Just until it's gone.
The fuzzy fungus on the skin is usually very easily killed.

If froggy is constipated, they will not eat, and swell up usually.
Fasting is rally the only way to help,
but if they're not eating, you can do Pedialyte baths (Water to Plain pedialyte 10:1mix)

Hi,  for the Lamisil bath do you suggest I nuke the tank as well?  Common sense tells me yes, I guess that would be the best thing if I decide to try out the bath, but I think I would skip the bleach and just rinse and dry. For now I'll keep an eye on the frog's skin and behavior.  As of yesterday he was interested in food but it didn't seem as voracious.  I did do one Pedialyte bath during my CF treatment so at least I'm familiar with it and will give it a try too if needed.  Ok, I did think he may show swelling if constipated but so far he seems fine and nothing unusually, but I'll try a short fast anyway to see if that helps promote poo.

I did find a small piece of new poo today, and still next to the frog, but again it had a yellow hue and a sickly appearance.  It wasn't gooey or running, imagine a piece of poo that has been in the water for a long time and has begun to disintegrate and looks fuzzy around the edges.  I tried to take a photo but it just looks like a little speck of nothingness.  And broke apart when I tried to contain it.  Now that I'm talking about fuzzy poo, I'm also ADF frog sitting for a friend, and her two frogs poo has always looked like what I have described with the exception of the yellow color.  I have never found a solid healthy looking poo, it has always been this odd fuzzy cloudy mass.  Her frogs seem fine, and their diet too has been mostly frozen adult brine and mysis shrimp (no freeze dried or pellets).  Other than the diet could her poo be due to something else?

I do have bloodworms and occasionally feed that.  I don't have blackworms locally in my petstore.  About the bloodworms, how do you feel about what most care sites say about bloodworms lacking protein and how they should only be considered treats and not as a primary diet?  On this board I've read a lot about adult brine shrimp being low in nutrition, other sites seem to promote it as the opposite.  There's a lot of different and conflicting information everywhere so it's tough to decide what would be best for the frog.  I often go on The AquariumWiki for certain information, but I'm beginning to think it's heavily associated with a specific frog group expert, which I haven't had any issues with or doubts about but if the information is a little bias then maybe it's not a good source?, or at least not the end all be all.  If you have any opinions about that and you'd rather not post them feel free to PM me.
