African Clawed Frogs and fish

Question
My friend gave me a 5 gallon aquarium with 2 african dwarf frogs and an algae eater and I thought that was really neat to watch them eat and just move around.  I checked some pet stores and found the African Clawed Frog and I am in the process of aquiring a 29H Gallon Aquarium and I was wondering about how many African Clawed Frogs can live in there and what kind of fish can live with them without the frogs making them into dinner.  I have looked around and the more info I see the more confused I get on how to care for the frogs I have and the ones I plan on getting.  I am looking for something that I can take care of with ease and being able to enjoy it at the same time-am I going the right direction here or am I better off getting just fish?  Thanks for your input.

Sincerely,

Ted

Answer
Hi Ted;

I've never kept the larger variety because they are illegal in my state (California). Here are some web site pages I found that may help though. Look there for the sections on housing, tank size, etc. ;
