When frogs are not used to having live plants, they can take a rather dumb approach to them.
These are not the most intelligent species and on top of that they are nearly blind. They react to shadows and movement in the water - - so they are sitting there, and something slightly wiggles above their head (leaf moving in the water) and they think "OH! Lucky Me! Food! Right there! I can get it! " then SNAP! mouth full of leaf, it is not coming off easy so they think the fish is resisting so they tug until what ever they are holding is "theres". Then, now that it is in their mouth, they try and eat it and half the time they probably spew up the ripped up leaf.
This is why it is very important to be careful about what decor and substrate you have - many a little frog has died from eating gravel or think/rough sand!
