Re: just wanted to ask

It depends which frogs.African dwarf frogs,stay small,and dont need to be able to rest out of water.
The clawed frogs will eat small fish,and need to be able to get out of the water.
African dwarf are sweet.They like bloodworm,and are very lazy.They bury themselves,and you wont see them for ages!
Make sure you have a lid on the tank though.

African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) would most certainly eat small fish, and to be perfectly honest, amphibians shouldn't be in the same tank as fish in the first place.

African Dwarf frogs (of which the most commonly available species is Hymenochirus boettgeri) are quite small and are at risk of being out-competed for food. You'll find that in most instances, frogs usually starve to death when mixed with other fish.
