Welcome aboard. Treefrogs generally do well in that kind of enclosure. You will have to feed the frogs outside the enclosure as crickets will drown with all that water. White's, green, gray, and barking treefrogs are good choices to start with. Pick one species and stick with it, as its a real bad idea to mix amphibian species.

Another direction you can go is with Suriname toads or African clawed frogs. These are totally aquatic frogs and can live with fish as long as those fish are not too small enough to even be considered as a food source by the frogs. They will eat small fish and try eat smallish fish, choking on them.

ok, so none of the really colorful guys huh?

i don't want a completely aquatic frog, i was thinking about getting two of the tetra water fall filters one for each back corner, have a pictus catfish, maybe some bolivian rams in the water, maybe a branching log coming out of the water along with some plants (hopefully i can find some that will root in the water and grow tall out of the water)

Grays have bright yellow thighs. Greens and barking treefrogs are attractive as well.

The more interactive tree frogs tend not to be very showy in colour. I like the fact that my Gray Tree Frogs can be dark brown one day and white the next.

what about cleaning waste and what not, is it hard to do? or since i want a complete water bottom will it most likely fall into it and get cleaned up by the filters and water changes?

and you said i need to take them out to feed them, i'm guessing all you guys feed them are crickets? how often and what do you feed the crickets?
i saw a bowl that hangs in the terrarium, what about using this to feed them in the terrarium if i pull the legs off the crickets of something, or is that just too cruel to think of lol

Crickets can still climb, fall into the water, and drown. Yes, the filter and water change will help keep the poop from becoming a problem.

i guess i could just feed them in a sterilite box, is it a daily feed? and i think i've seen that you guys dust them with calcium? is that also daily?
