Default Frogs & fish

lots of people here have mentioned frogs not doing well with fish bcuz of their waste, but i've also read on sites that dwarf frogs do quite well with community fish, even in a nice bowl with a betta. nothing about frog feces is mentioned. i mean there is a filter after all, water changes will be made when necessary, and pet/fish stores even keep the little frogs with a lot of other fish, and the tanks aren't that big. plus there are those stress defense/slimecoat enhancers you can add to the tank and whatnot. i talked to a local fish store (rather than a Petsmart or Supermarket which don't specialize primarily in fish) and the guy said i most likely just got an unhealthy frog (poor guy). he probably was too unhealthy to handle the transport and adjustment to a new environment. i got a pH kit and water's fine. guess i should get ammonia, nitrite and nitrate kits as well to be safe!
my betta's doing great, he seems to like the tank. and bloodworms. which by the way, i bought frozen ones that are cubed, but once i let a cube thaw, it was WAY too much to feed Kuzco. can you keep freezing and thawing until the cube's gone? we don't do that with our food so i figured can't with fish either, even if it is larvae (gross). i'm attaching a picture of Kuz that i took tonight.
