Default bad news

the dwarf frog i put in my tank didn't survive. he was fine yesterday when i put him in, and my boyfriend said that after i left, he was still swimming around and stuff. my betta is fine, so i don't think it's the water. (or could it be?) i also don't think my betta killed him. the frog had been floating by the filter probably most of today, and Kuzco didn't mess with his body. i even saw Kuzco just hanging out by the frog's body, but didn't nip at it at all. could he just have killed it bcuz he doesn't want tank-mates and was happy once the frog was dead? i've read that bettas are ok to put with dwarf frogs, so i don't know. i also read today that when dwarf frogs die, they sink to the bottom unless they have bloat or another noticeable disease, but i couldn't see anything wrong with his appearance, even after he was dead, and he was floating the whole day. i don't understand. i'd like to try another. they're inexpensive, but i certainly don't want any more to die. could the frog have had a disease? if it did, does that mean the water's now contaminated and needs to be changed completely? i don't know who to ask about dwarf frogs.
