Most of the times when a frog eats a fish is because its hungry. So chances are the frog isnt getting fed. I think aquatic frogs should be fed daily. But not too much. Also thats a good tank size for 2-3frogs and some fish. Intank filters tend to suck. Trust me do not rely on it. Chances are it will suck. Plus filters with cartridges dont really hold in bacteria the good kind. So again Id go with a canister filter if I were you. just make some mods to the tank. Use sand its soft on their bellies, its clean and its also good for rooting plants.
Plants I have personally used:
-Anachris: all around best beginner plant.
-Anubias
-Duck weed: no one seriously cant kill duckweed unless that person is a dope around plants. There is no way you can kill it if you keep the tank nice and clean.
-Swords
-Moss balls: generally self efficient only need to be taken out of the tank and squeezed through running water to get any gunk out.(do not open the ball! just squeeze it once amonth underrunning water) it also provides a good sleeping area for the frogs.
-Ludwigia: somewhat like the anachris
-Baby's tears: not TOO easy to keep but not hard either. Its a matt of grass for the bottom.
Remember when laying out the plants obviously the small ones go infront and middle ranged ones in the middle and the leafy tall ones on the back. Remember to plant by segment but leave the very front of the tank free of plants(tall ones plants like babys tears is fine) this layout should be good.
Since you are afraid of putting in neon tetras why not go for black skirt tetras? They are alittle large(2-3inches at most). Id say a ratio of 3frogs to 10tetras should be fine. If you ever want to add a beta fish make sure not to add any fish with long flowing fins or very colorful as it will peez off the male beta. If you go for a beta you could go for a "king" beta. They are supposedly larger; which is true. Ived seen them grow up to 3inches(seriously). I think the crown tails look nice too.
You should also add some ghost shrimps. They only cost 6cents or so. You can get like 10-20 of them and it wont overload the bioload(their poop is smaller than a grain of rice. Actually its the size of a dot you make with a pencil. Also they eat excess food and should the frogs want to eat something alive they will most likely go to the shrimp which are also healthy foods.
Stuff you can feed your frogs are:
Sinking pellets(hikari is my favorite brand)
Live insects(actually healthy) such as crickets, grasshoppers, tiny earthworms, wax worms, pheonix worm, etc.
Pieces of fish(trout is the best fish to feed oh and silversides)
Remember to keep the diet varied for maximum health. Use tongs. Personally id try to feed them a little bit of everything. But then again I do that with everything I keep. :P
