It is always good to have a seperate quarantine cage for new animals. It is a little late to use this to prevent any spread of disease to the main aquarium, but quarantine is also a perfect place to monitor your new frogs, and a place to keep them away from the stresses of your fish.
As for food, ideally you'd start with whatever they ate at the petstore. The problem is that it is unlikely that they were monitored that closely while they were there. Chances are they weren't eating. In general, with difficult eaters, I'll move to live prey as it is more stimulating for the frogs. All my frogs are much larger than ADF's so I'm unfamiliar with what small live food is available. Any suggestions from anyone else?
I've also had some success with pok'n some of the food around, making it dance in the water, but this is time consuming, and may just scare your frogs away. Good luck
