I originally had a stocking plan for my daughters aquarium (15 gallons ). Everything was going great I have 4 platys and a few ghost shrimp. I was planning on adding a small school of dwarf corys and maybe a few neon tetras or fancy guppies. But my patents took my daughter to petsmart and they came home with 2 african dwarf frogs. I have gone from only feeding flake to mainly feeding frozen blood worms since it will be eaten by everyone.
Now my issue is what other bottom feeder to add since I think I only should add a couple max since I do not want to over stock the tank. I am having a hard time finding a type that will be good in a single or double and will not eat the shrimp.

I personally think you shouldn't add any with the frogs. Most bottom dwellers need schools and if they don't then they most probably need a bigger tank. I would either add 5 neon tetras or 3 fancy guppies but not both. Otherwise I think your tank would be overstocked. You may want to vary their diet a bit. So like flake food 4 times a week , bloodworm. 1 time a week, daphnia 1 time a week and brine shrimp 1 time a week. If the frogs dont exept flake food I'm pretty sure shops sell food specially made for them.
