Good or bad idea? this was the first time i had done it and I only did it as a treat. But it was awsome to watch.... it was one of those 2 dollar african dwarf frogs and he gobbled it up, but it kept crawling out of his mouth. He got it though.
Fed my LM bass a frog today lol

Not all of those are safe either, the first one that comes to mind is the wood frog, a pretty common species. I cannot think of many others, most should be safe, make sure you know what it is and if it's toxic or not first.

While they do spend a lot of time on land, mostly in wooded habitats (go figure) they aren't a tree frog. You have probably seen them before and just not known what they were. They breed pretty early, before spring peepers even. Their call kinda sounds like turkeys IMO. They are the only frog found north of the Artic circle.

Gray treefrogs are also another species that come to mind. Most frogs in the U.S. won't kill the predator but may cause burning skin or eye irritation in humans. A fish would probably spit it out but it's not really worth the risk IMO. It's better to know what your dealing with.
