depends how many guppys,if guppys are the only fish your putting in the 60 l tank then I'm sure you could fit in a pair of frogs.But again it depends on the number of guppies

umm well probably 4 guppies 3 female and 1 male

if i get frogs can the tank be heated??

I would say no to frogs, and the eel.


3 female and 1 male is fine.

 

[huberp]

but then wont the tank be kinda empty with just 4 fish?

3 or 4 ADF's (African dwarf frogs) would be fine in that setup and are fine at tropical temperature.

Make sure you dont get ACF's (African clawed frogs) as these grow way too large and will eat the guppies.

Make sure when you get them that your lfs hasnt mislabelled them, ADF's should have all 4 webbed feet, whereas ACF's will have claws on their front feet rather than webbing.

One problem with frogs is ensuring they get food as most fish will snap it up before the frogs get a chance. There are ways around this such as target feeding them with a turkey baster or syringe if it becomes a problem.
