I had no idea that they would carry parasites. Is there a better type of fish to feed that doesn't have parasites?

There's nothing guaranteed. If you want to use them as feeders, I suggest you freeze them for a few days before thawing them to feed the frog.

What type of frog is it? In the wild for most species of frogs, fish is not a common food item. It you really must give fish, you should raise your own. Guppies are a good choice, because they are live bearers who produce a lot of young frequently and are fairly nutritionally balanced (when it comes to fish and/or other vertebrate prey - ie mice, pinkies, goldfish etc.). Plus by raising your own, you help limit the chance of parasites.
