okay so for now the two will be alright in it, but how big does it have to be when they grow up?

Hello durOb,
Welcome to Frog Forum
This person at Petsmart should be reported - to the 'pet police' !
None of these animals should be together in any aquarium that is available in a big box pet store.
You are very fortunate there have been no mishaps.
May I respectfully make a suggestion on future living arrangements:
2- whites 24H x18x18n
2 green tree frogs 24H x18 x18
Save the 10 gallon ( after you remove the whites out ) for the anole ?
Use the current for the long tail lizard ? However I don't know if it will be tall enough. I guess it would be ok if you can suspend some foliage for it to hang out on - alone ! He will love you for it.They are beautiful, graceful animals. You will really enjoy viewing it when it has it's own space.
Separation: Then and only then ...you will be able to fine tune their individual requirements, reduce the stress they have been under.
Petco is still having a 1$ per gallon store? You could pick up a 20 gallon- that could be used for the anole and save the 10 gallon for a hospital/quarantine tank .
Sorry......... this information that you were given is really irresponsible!
If you go to Petsmart to purchase any supplies....find the manager and report "the lady" .
Make them provide you with proof ---that these animals can flourish together! They can not do it !
However, think of all the fun you will have creating new environments for them.
a great places for supplies / plants etc :

Here are two basic examples as to why they should not be together:
Your anole:
Temperature: during the day, provide a gradient from 75-80 F with a basking spot of 85-90 F ( 90F will cook your frogs) And w/out a basking spot for the anole. He will end up ill ( unable to digest his food properly)
your lizard:
Keep the tank at 80 degrees F on one end and 90 degrees F at the other end.
Plenty of things for the lizard to climb on as they spend a lot of time in trees. (this is stressful for the lizard and the tree frogs - competing for the space high in the enclosure. This day - to -day stress ( which may not be apparent) is only compounded if the tank is not high enough.
This list goes on and on ! Just think of the competition that occurs for a peaceful 'water spot'
Hope this helps to get you started.
There are great sites on line where you can find care sheets for each of your 'charges'
