This can depend on what type of food you are feeding your fish. If you are feeding betta bites, then typically the fish would eat from the surface. If you are feeding flakes, then it's possible the fish is simply waiting for the food to sink.

It's not uncommon for fish to forage around the bottom for food that may have settled there.

Can female bettas share a tank with albino frogs?

It depends on what species the frogs are. African dwarf frogs (which remain very small) are ideal tankmates for female bettas provided the tank is filtered and large enough for all the occupants. African clawed frogs are fine while young, but grow quite large and will eat the female bettas when fully grown; when grown they also need a much larger tank than the average betta sorority.
