I know an ADF is some kind of frog, but what kind is it. and what size tanks can you have for them and can they have tankmates and if so what kinds of tankmates.
 
ADF = African dwarf frog (Hymenocheirus species)
Gets to 1-1.5 inches
In the wild they live in small pools or even puddles. So you could keep 2 in a 2gallon tank. They can be kept with any community fish. DO NOT confuse them with African clawed frogs which get to 5 inches and eat anything if its head will fit in their mouths.

I have two african dwarf frogs in my molly/platy tank and they are doing great. These frogs are very peaceful and are funny to watch. One thing about them is that if they are kept with any fish that will breed, the frogs will eat a lot of the fry, they dont do much until you see a baby fish swim in front of them, and then they fly like the wind catching them. So, if you want to have babies, i wouldnt suggest any frequent breeders. If you dont really want the babies and like guppies, molly, or platy, or frequent breeders then the frogs will take care of that problem. Also the baby fry are a good source of nutrician for the frogs. I have snails with them and I also had a chinese algea eater. So anything that is a very peaceful community fish will do great.(to agree with the last person, i cant see the name while im posting) I love having them around. But do watch like the last person said about the claw frogs. If for some reason, those are the ones you have, take them back. Unless or course you want to keep them. They will eat anything, and are messy messy messy. Good luck!

Another fish that you could get that would go good with an ADF is a betta. A lot of people with small tanks that have just one betta in it and are looking for another tank mate often go with the ADF.
