Hello!! I used to have AFD's, they're cute little critters! As i posted on you're status, I believe that they require a larger habitat :) KittyKatMe is an expert on frogs and will have much more information than me, but I believe that they need heaters and filters+ a 5 gallon tank :)

Yup i did almost 3 months of reaserch and yup once i get a little bit more money then i can buy a heater and stuff..  A Filter isnt reccomeneded for tanks bigger than 5 gallons :D

I think it's recommended to have a filter in probably any tank :)

ADFs are awesome! They're pretty easy to care for. They are so much fun to watch eat. Make sure they have a place they can feel safe like a hideout or some fake (or real if you want to care for it :) ) grass.

The absolute minimum is 1 gallon per frog. If you keep frogs in a 1/2 gallon you will need to do daily water changes or the ammonia will be too much

I found some other tanks that might work for you :)

 

This one has a filter, and water conditioner included. You will need to get different food though. I've had this one and I really liked it :)

This one is cheaper and personally I feel is a better deal. It includes a filter and even has LED lighting!

This one is like the last only it has a bow front.

If your local walmart doesn't have these then you can ask them to special order it and they will ship it to your local walmart. They will let you know when it comes so you can come pick it up :)

Okay, not to come across as rude, but there are a few things that could be altered with your plan. First of all, don't you still need a bigger tank for your betta and mice?

Also, it isn't very safe to use a tank for aquatic species that has already been used as a terrestrial tank. What do you plan on feeding them? They need a filter and heater as well as many hiding places. As Sonic said, the 1 gallon per frog rule is the absolute minimum. They are fun little water babies to have!

Well were still working out the kinks but as of now they are quite small and we have this great disifectant :D  We are feeding them dried worms (cant remeber the name) and yea if we move them in the bigger tank we will get a filter we found a nice one witch has a sponge on the bottom so they cant get clogged in the filter
