If I see anything negative going on ill move the fish if not then he stays plus the fish is always checking out the frog cage.

I don't think you understand exactly what we are trying to say....but I doubt your fish is checking out the frog cage and I doubt your fish is keeping your frog company. Your frog basically sees food that he cannot get. That could stress your frog out (as mentioned before) and that in itself is 'negative'...but do what you will.

Thank you my fish find things in the room and in the frog cage and stares at them i don't know what perplexes him may the color but i only observe this when he doesn't know I'm there because when he sees me all he does is beg for food

Stress isn't always obvious in frogs, so by the time you see something 'negative' it can be too late. Some very knowledgeable people with a lot of experience with these frogs have told you it's stressful. You can ignore that, but it won't benefit your pets.

Frogs have a reflex response to movement. They will grab something (anything) that is moving and shove it in their mouths. Having something moving in front of them constantly and being unable to catch and eat it is confusing and stressful because it's preventing them from doing what they would in the wild, and they don't understand why.

Your betta probably isn't checking out the frog's cage. They're incredibly territorial, but normally pretty passive when calm... You're probably seeing aggression. Most fish can see color; if you have any blues/reds/greens in the room, he may be reacting to those as well. If you give him a fake plant, he'll calm down since he has somewhere to hide.
