Possible, but with meaningful cautions
Very fast danios may monopolize food before slow-feeding frogs can eat.
Practical response: Target-feed the frogs and watch body condition closely.

Water parameter overlap
Behavior and space
Very active schooling fish; horizontal swimming length matters more than water volume alone. Aquatic frogs need easy surface access and deliberate feeding so faster fish do not outcompete them.
A compatibility answer should also consider the actual tank dimensions, number of each fish, filtration, planting and other occupants. Two species can be reasonable together in a long, structured aquarium yet become a poor pairing when compressed into a small footprint.
Common questions
Can Zebra Danio live with African Dwarf Frog?
The StockingLab verdict is caution: Very fast danios may monopolize food before slow-feeding frogs can eat.
Do their temperatures overlap?
22–26°C / 71.6–78.8°F shared range.
Should I trust compatibility calculators completely?
No. Individual behavior, sex ratios, breeding condition, aquascape and tank size can change the outcome. Use the result to identify risks, then verify care requirements before purchase.
