Sick Frog?

I have two fire bellied toads (Fred and Jaws) in a 10 gallon tank. It's about 3/4 terrestrial with a tupperware set into the moss that takes up the other 1/4. Fred has always been the smaller one, and he's not as good at catching the crickets so sometimes I have to take him out and put him in a little tank so he can get food. Recently (the past two days) Fred has gotten really sluggish. Usually whenever I come close to the tank they both hop around, but now Fred just sits there in the water. When I opened the tank to change the water and tried to herd him out of it, he was really slow and just sort of let me push him along. He also seems to be breathing really irregularly.
Jaws (the other one) seems to be happy.
I'm worried he might be sick.
I just moved the tank to my new apartment, which doesn't have AC and I'm in San Diego, so it's a little hotter here than usual, but not by much. I keep them by the window so they get some breeze.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

keeping the tank by a window could heat things up quite a bit, maybe its a little too warm for them... also, if sunlight is hitting it, algae may be starting to grow... try moving the tank, maybe somewhere a fan would hit it instead
