I'm going to put a little bit of salt in my aquarium with my platies and guppies, so can my frog tolerate a bit of salinity???

Apparently so, though I'd always been told salt was a no-no for them:

http://www.fishpondinfo.com/frog4.htm#salt

"One person asked about salt and ADF's. Some people say to avoid salt entirely but I use about a tablespoon of aquarium salt per 5 gallons, and my ADF's are fine. Frogs are more sensitive to salt than some fish, perhaps as sensitive as some of the scaleless fish. That means, you do not want a lot of salt but some is okay. I would not put in more than a tablespoon per 4 gallons or so. If you do not have fish with the ADF's, do not use any salt."

You can try it a a half dose, the frog will be okay for a couple of days, but any longer then that and it will kill him.

depends on the amount a little bit would not hurt it might be good but if you over salt it may irritate thier skin.
