What size tank do you have? Anything smaller than a 20 gallon would be the reason why he or she is so dominating. Some toads can just be like that. You can change the tank around so everyone has equal opportunity to establish their area.

don’t listen to people at the petstore, most of the time they dont know what they are doing. the way you cna tell is, males are always making htis barking sound, grabing the females, have thicker forearms, have nupitle pads, and have rougher backs.

He’s probably just a bully. I had one like that but it stopped once one of the younger guys whupped his tush in a wrestling match. Now, he’s a lot nicer.

I still suggest changing the tank around while they are still in the tank. That way everyone has an equal opportunity to establish their own area.
