Shedding or fungus?

I just got my very first ADF and he's looking sort of weird. His back looks like there is something either growing on him or his skin is coming off or something. It's just these clearish looking flaps of stuff that sort of waves from his back, it doesn't hang off very far though, it's hard to explain. I read they shed but I wasn't sure if this was it, or if I should be worried about a fungus or something like that?
 
If it's whitish and is flaky or looks like thin layers coming off, then it is the skin. If you see it eating the stuff that comes off (they're crazy little fish), it's probably skin.
 
Well, I'm pretty sure it was shedding, since all the stuff is gone, but now I'm worried because my frog floats. He's not dead (I poke him every now and again when I panic) but he doesn't hide out under water like he did when he was at the store. He just floats around where ever the bubbles take him. I'm pretty sure it's eating since it's belly looks okay, and not super skinny or anything, but this constant deadman's float is getting sort of annoying and worriesome. :/
