Your skinny one could have internal parasites, especially if you got him within the past few months, which would account for low appetite and being thin. You could also try getting a smaller cheaper quarantine tank for the skinny one to separate them and fatten the skinny one up for a while.
If all else fails, take it to a vet as soon as you can.
Good luck!

Seperate them.
An alternative for the more experienced frog keeper is to have a larger, more naturalistic environment that will allow the frogs to seperate themselves while both still being able to meet their needs of warmth, humidity, security and diet. Problems with this are that a keen eye for observation is needed to assess appetite, weight, and overall health. This is a complex undertaking and not something that should be experimented with while solving health/behavior problems.
Again, seperate the two until the smaller one is of equal size. Consider a larger enclosure before reintroducing them.
