Does My Adf Look Too Skinny?

Does my African Dwarf Frog look too skinny? He looks very skinny to me, but I'm not very savvy about adfs yet. I feed them thawed frozen brine shrimp or blood worms about every 3 days and my other adf doesn't look this skinny, but should I be doing something different? Feeding them more often? Feeding them something else? I have tried sinking pellets too but I've never seen them touch them. Oh, also I have seen them both eat when I feed them, but the skinny one seems to spit out the brine shrimp, but eats the blood worms.

Hi!
Yes he seems very skinny. Why do they only get fed every 3 days? Mine get fed daily except Monday since I get home late.
Monday is also no lights day only because of my hours.

I was only feeding them every three days on the suggestion of someone on this site when I first got them. I will definitley go to feeding them every day if that's what people recommend?

I've seen every other day suggested but it's not what I would recommend. Imo, every three days is not correct.
Since he seems picky, there are other food options here:

How long have you had them? You might need to make special care that the others aren't getting the food before he does.

Where did you order the frogs from?
I got mine a long time ago, and my frog lived for 8 years.

They do need daily feedings, and make sure the filtration isn't too strong, they aren't good swimmers.
What size is their tank?
