I have an african dwarf frog that I got yesterday. It lives in a 2.5 mini bow with a filter and a heater. It hides in a decoration all the time and dosen't come out. Will it come out when it gets used to it's new home or will it always stay hidden?

correction:
a betta and dwarf frog can live together peacefully.
Mabye try moving arround the decoration so that when he is "hiding" you can see him. Happy grounds for everyone!

I just bought an ADF too, and this is what I found out on Petco.com today (I was confused about what to feed it, so I consulted the professionals!) :
Your frog's normal behavior is to recluse under a rock most of the day, only coming out occasionally to scavenge for food or take a breath of air. A sign of sick frogs is that they will start going to the top of the tank more often. They find their food by smell, so they may not always come out to eat immediately after you put food in the tank.
On another note, since I was researching these cute little guys today, here's some more interesting things I found out :
ADF's love bloodworms, apparently. They will eat freeze dried compacted brine shrimp and generic frog pellets, but a bloodworm (which is really just a mosquito larva) is a real treat!
You can tell the sex of a ADF by looking at it's behind. If it has a small bump on it's bum, then it's a female. If not, it's more than likely a male.
These frogs can live up to 5 years as someone's pet. That's a pretty good shelf life for these fragile little creatures.
Have fun with your new frog!

It will come out more once it settle in, but frogs do like to hide a lot so don't expect it to stay really active in the front of the tank a lot either.

No. I definitely have 2 adf's and one betta fish. I had to seperate my betta because of the fact it saved chasing and struggling with with my adf's and it looked that it additionally began to guard around the nutrients as quickly as I fed them. i'm not an aquarium expert yet by journey and remark i does not advise it!

They love to hide but my dwarf would come out about once a day. Please tell me that you don't have it with the Betta...they are extremely aggressive and my care sheet said not to even put them in the same tank as goldfish....
