The gaping mouth is a sign of respiratory problem. You will need to get the sick frog to a vet. In the mean time, you need to quarantine the sick frog. I would change the others frogs enclosure, too. Make a sure their enclosures are lined with moist paper towels and their water is dechloinated and changed daily. And make sure the humidity levels are correct. Respiratory problems can stemp from to much or too little humdity. Other than that, there's not much you can do with out a vet visit. Sorry to hear this. Hope it all turns out well. Let me know what happens. Good Luck.
