I have several small aquatic frogs from WalMart in my community tank.

What should I feed these guys?

Do a search on here, you'll find tons of info.

But, feed frozen bloodworms. Frogs in community tanks (if larger than 10-20 gallons) can be difficult because frogs aren't great at finding food. You kind of need to aim the bloodworms at them and watch to make sure they eat. Plus, fish will often try and eat the food before they can. Anything that sinks will be eaten by them most of the time, but as I said, frozen bloodworms are the best thing IMO.

Oh, when you look closely, are their front feet webbed or unwebbed? How many do you have and what size tank?

Right now they're all in hiding, so I can't look, but I'm pretty sure they're unwebbed.

I thought I had three in my 55gal, but my wife says I only have two.

If they're unwebbed, you're going to want to move them to a tank without fish or exchange them. Unwebbed front feet mean its an african clawed frog - which get to be 6+ inches and scratch and eat fish...
