Horned frogs and dwarf african bullfrog are good choices. Care for both is pretty much the same. Care instructions can be found on my site the Reptizone listed below.

A horned frog would be a good choice. Technically, if you have one in an average-height aquarium, you could get away without even having a lid. I'd recommend getting a lid anyway though, even if it's just to keep out "predators" (the family dog, kids' hands, etc.) Cuz these frogs can bite...

Hi:

A Budgett's frog is an excellent choice for a 20 gallon; they'd have trouble jumping out of a 5 gallon! In general, most frogs are jumpers and climbers. A horned or a pyxie would work well, but does it really have to be a frog? If you want an amphibian that can live in a 20 gallon without escaping, how about a nice little toad?
