I have not personally had ADFs with a beta in one tank. But there are quite a few people that succeeded in doing that just fine. But just as many had problems with the beta attacking the frogs. For that you would need at least a 10 gal tank and I believe a female beta would be easier to keep with frogs that a male since they are less aggressive in general. But with betas it really depends on the fish. They are as different in temperament as children are. Unless you have another small tank to seperate them if it does not work out I would not attempt it. I have been tempted to do it several times but in the end decided on 2 clown plecos with my frogs. Unfortunately that means more poop in that tank then in any other one of mine.
