Hi,
im thinking of adding a few more WTF to my enclosure, I already have 2 but my tank is 60x45x90cm so there is lots of room, I was wondering how big should e Frogs be before I add them, my current ones are nearly 2 inches, are there any "rules" or anything I need to no, thanks!
I would keep them in a quarantine tank until they catch up in size a bit. Mainly so that they can fend for themselves against the big guys for food. That, and to prevent them from being dinner if they are much smaller than the current ones. Basically, you want them to be close in size so they have a fighting chance....lol

Large frogs will eat or at least try to eat smaller even of there own species so yes size matters greatly. You want the smallest to be at least 3/4 of the size of the largest to be safe. Closer in size the better.
also that tank is only a 60 gallon and whites get big and need more gallons per frog. 4 would be the absolute max I would recommend. 3 would be better.
Thanks, I was planning on getting 2 more and I still have another tank which I raised the other 2 in first
Definitely do at least a month of quarantine if you get more frogs. And make sure they are about the same size. My two were a little different in size when I put them in together. Glurmo was a bit wider, but they were about the same length so I deemed it safe. The key is, if they look like they may be able to be eaten, then don't put them in yet. I think 4 would be a maximum for your tank.
