I’m starting a new tank with a Betta and a African Dwarf Frog, any suggestions?

I have a 5 Gallon Tank. With a Whisper Power Filter, Medium. I plan to lower the current somehow. Although my Tank is cycling right now, I have a couple of questions. I Put gravel, Silk plants and a little decorations, no Chemicals to water yet, And in my last pH test, a 7.6. I will put API’s Stress Coat. WIll this harm the frog? And if it will, what other Dechlorinizer should I use? I hate a heater in there, and I unplugged it because of the temperature. I Have an Air stone in there. And will be feed my Frog Frozen Brine Shrimp. My Betta some Freeze Dried Brine Shrimp, Blood WOrms, and Frozen Brine Shrimp. And I will add some live plants. Most likely a plant called “Betta Bulbs.” Well.. That’s the product name.

Main Questions:
Will Stress Coat be ok for an African Dwarf Frog?
Is there any sorta food needed for the Frog?
What should the pH level be for both?
Will they get along happily?
Any other live plants that both would like?
How can I lower the current from my filter?
Will Stress Zyme harm any of them?
Does a frog need a varied diet?
If it needs a Varied diet, What do I feed it?
Can the frog live in an aquarium with some Aquarium Salt?

African Cichlids?

I’m trying to get a tank of African Cichlids up and running for my husband. I have very little experience with fish, but have done a little bit of research. I have a 29 gallon tank with a heater (It’s 79 degrees). The ph of my water is about 8.2, and I have gravel, some artificial plants, and a lot of large rock for them to hide in. I had the tank up and running with no fish in it for about 3 weeks before I got the fish. Last week I got 11 small africans and put them in the tank after acclimating them, and they all died in the last 2 days. They didn’t appear to be ill, looked healthy, and were eating some flake food and brine shrimp. I’m going to take a water sample and a couple of the fish back to the pet shop to have them checked, but would like some input. My husband has had cichlids in the past (lost them in his divorce), and I’m trying to get a new tank up and running as a surprise for him. I’m getting pretty frustrated with it, though.

How to transfer sea-monkeys to a larger tank?

I've had sea-monkey's for about 2 months now and I want to transfer them to a larger, 1 gallon tank.

My plan is to fill a new tank with some water and use water purifier packs to purify the water. (I have 2. Is that enough?) Then I plan on dumping what I have in my 10 ounce tank right now, into the new tank. Would that be alright? Or would the transfer be too stressful for the little creatures? And would they be able to adapt to the new environment?
