well i ma sure a large one WOULD eat fish if they were presented on land in front of it.
but leopard frogs are mainly insect eaters and the fats in goldfish might be difficult for them to assimilate. This is to say nothing of the parasites that feeder goldfish might be carrying (and how this situation is exacerbated by the underfeeding and porr water consditoins and stress of moving due to the pet trade)
in the wild they reportedly eat very little fish.
so i wouldn't do it
