Yes it will grow. Feed it well and it will grow quickly.

Thanks! I'm trying to research some supplies for the frogs habitat, but I'm not familiar with amphibian care. I know they need light, but I'm not sure which is the best to get. Do you have any recommendations?

Bullfrogs do not require any special lighting. If you want to grow plants in the enclosure, you'll need a plant bulb of some sort. Use fluorescent, they do not create much heat, Amphibians can be easy to overheat. Mid 70's is sufficient. A small aquarium heater can be used if necessary. You also will need a secure, tight-fitting top, this species is a strong jumper.

Thank you for your help!!

...that said there's evidence that UVB light might help frogs (milky tree frogs at least) develop strong bones. If you wanted to get one of the UVB tropical lights it might help.

American bullfrogs are native to your state, but it still might be unwise to release it in case it picked up anything from the goldfish. Also they tend to eat smaller frogs so a population boom of bullfrogs might not be great for other area amphibians.
