If he is a xenopus frog, dwarf african clawed frog, then he will eat your fish. Every single one of them, when he gets fully grown. They are aggressive, predatory, and should be kept in tanks without things they can fit in their mouths.
Eventually you will have 3 options: 1) Get rid of the frog 2) Get him his own tank 3) Accept the other occupants are dinner. Not sure what other species he might be, but to be honest, all frogs will eat what fits in their mouth, tree frogs will eat other tree frogs.. lizards.. whatever fits. Aquatic frogs will usually eat fish, it's just the way it goes. Frogs are greedy. My horned frog will try to eat pens and anything that moves in front of it!

Mine did the same when I had them.
I made the mistake of getting 6 and putting them in one tank. They wiped it out in less than a month. I ended up with 6 lovely fat frogs.

Someone's sold you the Brooklyn Bridge, Freekygeeky...
The "dwarf frogs" you see in pet shops ARE almost always the Xenopus African Clawed Frogs, they DO get bigger if they live long enough, and they DO eat your fish (as you have unfortunately found out.) If yours is an albino that's a major giveaway - also, if he's got pretty 'buggy' eyes or a broad waist, then he's probably a clawed frog.

regardless of them being sold in fish shops they will still eat anythign that can fit in their mouths and have a go at the things that can't.
Sami has one, it's in a tank on it's own, always will be and always has been. It's the only way to keep them. Mason
