Hey guys. First of all, I am really excited to let you all know that I will be adopting a full grown female ACF tomorrow. She will be sharing a 20 gallon tall with my male albino ACF. I was just curious if there are any tips or advice you all could give me?
I thought it was best practice to quarantine her for a bit in a 10 gallon just to ensure she's healthy, but is there anything else I should do? I am really happy to have her and I've been considering adding an adult ACF for awhile, and this opportunity just presented itself. Size shouldn't be a problem. They are both adults and he is about 3.5-4 inches stretched out. Also the previous problems I experienced in my tank are cleared up, so it shouldn't be harmful to add her.
As for my 20 gallon, its equipped with a whisper 20i, just did a water change yesterday, chems are fine. No heater. Its planted with a secure cover and some hiding places. Is there anything else I should do? I would love to add her immediately, but I'm assuming that wouldn't necessarily be best for Ghost or the added female. There is no problem with quarantining, I will be getting a 10 gallon tomorrow, and I am fully prepared to do whatever is necessary. I'm going to continue doing my own research, but I really wanted your advice. I've only ever kept Ghost by himself, so I don't know exactly what it will be like to have two. I know they're primarily docile creatures, and aren't necessarily prone to territoriality issues, I don't want to put Ghost or the new girl in a situation where either could be harmed.
Anyways, here is my set up. I'm sorry if I sound rambly, but I'm incredibly excited to have her. She needed a new home and I'm very happy to give it to her.

As far as the frogs getting along, you will not experience and negative issues. These frogs don't "need" company, but they sure don't mind it. He may even start singing soon after she joins him. I would just keep an eye on the bio load for the first little while as you will be doubling it, though you have plenty of tank space.
