ADF's add very little to the bioload, except for those few times a year when they shed their skin. How big is your tank, its a 20g isnt it?
Frogs are gregarious by nature, I would say add 3-4, they dont get very big at all, bout 1.5 inches.

ADFs don't add much to the bio load at all If your tank is 15 gallons or more, I would say you're perfectly fine. Cute little buggers ADFs are...in the past I've had trouble getting mine to eat though. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I suggest feeding them live goodies for best results.

Ferret, I feed mine "Sinking Newt and Salamander food". I forget the brand but that is exactly the name. It is the same stuff as Frog food, but larger pellets. I feed all my fish first, which brings the frogs out, and then after the fish are sated, I drop a heart dose of Newt food in the tank. Always in the same spot so the frogs learn where food is.
I have had no problem. Frozen bloodworms are also sought out very well, and so are tubifex worms. The trick is to overfeed to a certain point so there is "leftovers" for the frogs.

OH I also dont think my ADFS could possibly eat goldies. They are much too small.
