I am not sure of the name of the frog, it is not the normal white (albino) frog it is like a dark greyish color and maybe an inch long if that (including legs). I have had it for about a week but i am not sure what to feed it. I drop a cube of blood worms in the tank at night for my ghost knife and dragon gobi, and flakes of course for other fish, and i think krill pellets for my cats and stuff. Will it eat that stuff?

It's probably either an African Clawed Frog or and African Dwarf Frog. Here's a site where you can determine which it is and find caresheets for both. (I tried to post links, but I guess they aren't allowed)

Their requirements do differ, so determining which frog you have is important.
I have ADFs and feed them frozen Hikari bloodworms. Some do take the frog and tadpole bites as well. You can also feed live blackworms. They are very slow hunters and their eyesight is quite poor, so you may want to hand feed him to make certain he gets enough food.
Good luck!

Pinhead crickets are your best bet, so long as the frog is large enough. However, I had an extremely tiny frog for a while, and even pinheads were too large for it. In my case, I was lucky that the frog was from a collection at work, and I knew where it was collected in the wild. I ended up collecting water from its natural habitat and it was able to feed off of naturally occurring invertebrates. Ideally, this would be the best option, but a pet store bought animal provides a tougher challenge. So if your frog is too small to eat pinheads, and is from a pet shop, I would recommend asking the pet shop what they feed their frogs and following suit.

diffrent people have diffrent opinions of this, depends on what you can afford and how comfortable you are with the food selections, i have gone both routes, of feeding pellets for aquatic amphibeans, feding just regular fish food, i even have feed mine feeder guppies, sometimes it is hard to find these, i usually have to go to pet supplies and sometimes they had to special order, after he get a little bit bigger, u can feed him pin head crickets, then bigger yet, feet him crickets, i dont know if they will eat other live food such as the tubiflex worms or not... you could try it, i guess. like i said to your newer post my african clawed frog ate my fish in the tank, when i was younger, and i had mollies, i think a dwarf gourami, and platys. he even picked on my albino axotol so much he killed him. it just depends on what you feel best, and comfortable feeding him.

Definately crickets you buy them a few at a time from the pet shop not that expensive it will only eat two or three a week but make sure they don't escape i'm still finding them all over the house

If you go to a pet store ask if they have any frog bites or frog food

Crickets - you can buy them in the same store you bought the frog.
