I think for 5G, leave it with the betta. Aside from achieving any "zen" look for the aquarium, it still has to serve its purpose as a habitat. Frogs are messy and the 5G is perfect to handle the load of your betta fish.
Corys are a welcome addition in larger tanks, but these fish are better in groups and the 5G won't be able to service the load they will contribute.

very cool im thinking about some ghost shrimp and maybe a small loach but still not sure i do my shopping next week
Be wary of the frogs and any fish you want to keep in the tank, I've seen them attack and tear fins of fish in the tanks with them. I would only put one or two in there if you take out the betta. You don't want either of them getting mad and attacking the other. If it were me, I'd just leave the betta in there, and not put a frog in, but make sure you have a little heater in there so the temp stays constant if you dont want everything in there to get sick wether you put a frog in or not. You can get little heaters on www.drsfostersmith.com for really cheap, or check your local walmart.
The frogs are scavengers and will eat pellets, bloodworms, beefheart, anything really for freshwater.

you can fit three max in there, which actually isn't too bad for feeding considering how lazy they are at finding food. I've always preferred to use a syringe to drop in food like frozen bloodworms down to them. My problem with them is that they have tiny mouths and can't eat most larger pellets, so I used mostly frozen foods, but they rewarded me with a few spawns, so that is something I would repeat if I kept them again
