    Any fish you buy from a petstore has a potentiality for bringing disease into the tank. I'd quarantine anything for a month prior to adding them.
    Do you have the ammonia/nitrite/nitrate test kit?
    If the tank the frogs are currently in is uncycled, they would probably be better off in the new tank. More water volume means less fluctuations, and more time until you need to do a waterchange.

    I just have heard of horror stories of uncycled tanks resulting in an insane amount of tank death. I care for my little froglets quite a bit, so I am thinking off just doing the straight rotting food route and then at the end of the cycle doing a HUGE water change?

    Also I have the tetra whisper ex20 filter. It's not ceramic, but it is a nice, quiet filter that doesn't seem to cause horrid currents. I also placed it near a back corner.

    I also have heard of people not filtering their frogs water EVER and them lasting over 20 years! My guess is that these are pretty strong guys, but I still want to wait the full six weeks.

    However, I may end up moving them to the larger tank, as I can see that six weeks are quite a long time. Would moving them in the middle of the cycle be bad?
