What what what? Frog-o-sphere frogs? What are those. I've kept cuban tree frogs, barking treefrogs, bullfrogs, leopard frogs, fire bellied toads and other misc. amphibians and honestly, unless I know what species they are I can't help you.
As for adding fish in there. Don't do it. 1.5 gallons is far too small for fish and the frogs themselves generate HUGE amounts of ammonia as air-breathing carnivores are wont to do.
EDIT: Looked it up.
They are african dwarf frogs. Easy to keep I suppose. What is the set up of the fish tank right? I personally find the sale of animals, especially amphibians as novelty items repugnant. But anyways, the 1.5g will suffice for them but I say that you get at least 5g.
EDIT2: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f15/fishless-cycling-for-dummies-103339.html read up on cycling. It's important for your frogs as well as fish. Frogs not only breath through their nostrils but also their skin. Not only that they take up all their fluids from it. It's important to keep the water clean otherwise you will have some dead frogs.

Seems to me like a 1.5 would be pushing it even for more than frog, let alone adding fish in there.
Also, AFAIK dwarf african frogs do need to come to the surface for air, therefore reducing your total volume slightly more, so keep that in mind also.

Instead of feeding live guppies as cannon fodder purchase a water test kit. You want your ammonia and nitrite to remain 0 and your nitrates to be below 40. And please, read about cycling. It's important for anything living you intend on putting in your tank.

frankly, no! They're good for a quick generalisation, but quick generalizations are not what you need when cycling a tank.
