Live plant choices for tree frogs...

[ViperJr]

If you do a search with the word "plants" or "tree frog plants", you'll find a lot of threads on this very topic. Let me quote myself from a similar thread from just 5 days ago:

My personal favorites for red eyes are:
Snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)
Pothos (Epipremnum aureum
Lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana)
Dieffenbachia

The plants I suggested are equally suited for any tree frog of roughly the same size, like a pacific tree frog.
What you want to do is to use as much space as possible. A common "mistake" is to only have plants along the sides and at the bottom of the tank. You want to utilize the entire volume of the tank for the tree frogs. I'm no expert on these specific tree frog, but I imagine they work like any other tree frog, which is that they'll not use the substrate if the can avoid it. Therefore, plants, plants are more plants! Now, since they are tree frogs, I really don't think that you need a "swimming area". Most tree frogs (hylidae) are poor swimmers, and usually don't stay in the water for any longer period of time. Therefore, a simple water bowl is probably more than enough.


Now, about the FBT... I do not house these frogs myself, but you pick up quite a lot, since they are a very common animal to keep as a pet.
You do want a water section since these frogs are semi aquatic. I do not know the exact numbers, but I've often seen "50/50" being recommended. Do not quote me on this ratio tough. As for plants, I see no harm in adding them to the water section. I'm not very good at aquatic plants, but the pothos can be planted directly in the water. I don't think that a lot of climbing space is needed for their well-being, but if you have unused vertical space, go for it! Just make sure the top of the tank is firmly secured, since these frogs are particular good escape artists...

Hope this helps!
