ADFs do not do well in a community tank or a large tank. They need to go up for air so a 20 gal should be the limit as far as size goes.
They like a pond like setting with little current and they eat the following (if the other fish don't get it first):
bloodworms (frozen)
Mysis shrimp
frozen brine shrimp
frog sticks for aquatic frogs
live Grindal worms
Mine also go after veggies that I leave in the tank for my clown plecos and some times they nibble on the algae wafers and fish flakes. These frogs actually eat a lot more then people usually think they do if given the time.
Unfortunately they are slow in hunting their food. They do not go by sight as previously mentioned, actually from watching them I believe they are very nearsighted and find their food by smell and pure accident when bumbing into it. This in itself is way they should be kept in a species tank. They do well with clown plecos, otos, ghost shrimp and apple snails.
