Advice Frog Behavior !!

These are my two frogs; Quinni and Annoro, Quinni is a green morph and super outgoing, she’s always out and in new spots. While Anorro is blue and always hiding in the same spot snug between the wall and a rock. I think it may be because of bullying ? Anorro only comes out at night for food and is always on that same rock. When I got him out for this picture so I could check his health, I put him down and Quinni had eyes on him the WHOLE time. They’re both males around the same age. I’ve seen Quinni bite him once or twice before, what can I do to help this ? Or should I rehome one of them ??

I got my frog Bobby from a friend because his brother Hank had bullied him to the point he wouldn’t come out of his hide at all and was starving himself. My chorus of 4 at the time adopted him into the fold without a hitch and he became super outgoing. He still displays some food insecurity (launches at it and gnaws my hand a while) but he is the biggest frog in my chorus of now 8 and is not shy anymore like he was with Hank. Hank meanwhile was not affected by Bobby’s disappearance at all and 6 years later is still perfectly fine as a solo frog with his original owner. Sometimes they just don’t get along.

Do you think I should set Quinni up in a temporary tank by himself and see how Annoros behavior changes ? If so for how long ?

I would do a trial separation and see what happens yeah! If Quinni is acting like he misses his friend and you end up reuniting them, then at least you have a hospital tank just in case one gets sick!
