They tried to eat a Beta

Your tank is pretty small for those guys.. African clawed frogs will grow up to be 6+ inches each!
They will fit pretty much anything they can fit in their mouths. Being that you have such a small tank, I wouldn't recommend putting any larger fish in there with them, as there just won't be enough room for them to live comfortably.
Your frogs will be perfectly fine by themselves.

If the frogs are pretty large, I wouldn't recommend putting any fish with them. If they eat anything the size of a betta or smaller, then fish that can normally be put in with frogs (such as neon tetras) are way too small. Fish any bigger than a betta will like try biting at or attacking the frogs- even if they didn't, a seven gallon isn't very large and you probably couldn't keep the fish and frogs healthy.
I would ask at a pet store near you, in case they have something I haven't thought of, but as far as I know you're stuck. Maybe just try having a seperate fish tank?

Considering your tank volume is only 7 gallons, the two frogs are probably enough. The frogs will and do eat any thing that they can fit into their ample sized mouths, so any fish you attempted to add would have to be too large for the frog's mouth and then it would be too large for your tank capacity.
Also, the African Clawed Frogs are going to add a lot of ammonia and waste to your tank and you will need to go frequent water changes.

The rule for those frogs is 10 gallons per frog, your tank is too small, and the frogs will try and eat any fish they think they can eat.

the reason they tried to eat the beta is because it's slow, and it probably was close to the bottom. frogs think anything on the bottom is food for them. they'll jump for moving fish tails just like that dart themselves out to catch food that floats down. any kind of tropical fish that's active and doesn't live primarily on the bottom of the tank will be fine for frogs. get mollies, guppies, neons(or any other kind of tetra), platys, etc. and remember to have only one gal. for every 1in. of fish.

those are African clawed frogs and they get pretty big and will eat anything they can catch. Most likely any fish you put in with them will end up frog chow.

Nothing else and eventually one of the frogs will eat the other.
