Hey i was hoping for a bit of advice, im building an enclosure an was hoping to include a few tree frogs in the lot along with some anoles or geckos, its going to be a very arboreal setup and the base of the enclosure is actually going to be a 67 gallon aquarium.
Im looking for 2 types of frogs, first some surface frogs, the kind that like to stay in or near the water, lounge on the plants ect, second would be some sort or sorts of tree frogs forhigher up in the branches. Im aiming to keep the climat warm but keep the humidity around 65%.
can anyone suggest some species that might do well in these conditions
That's a nice size enclosure
But.... still not big enough to mix species, especially if you're asking here may 'do well' together.... only the very most experienced in the hobby have successfully mixed frogs and anoles or geckos, yet alone different types of frogs.
Best to stick to one species.

I agree with Bolisnide. You need a humongous enclosure, and a lot of experience, to mix species, otherwise you'll end up with illness and deaths. You could, however, choose a frog species that also comes in an albino gene for variety, such as red eyed tree frogs. I definitely wouldn't mix lizards with frogs though. The frogs carry different secretions and the lizards have different defense mechanisms that are sure to make for bad news. Anoles can be territorial and will protect the food source. I've had them. They are really cool. My male would even flail at me when I'd feed them if I happened to go near his female. Aside that, it's likely your anoles will produce eggs for you, then they really become protective.
It's best to choose one species. However, you could have more than one tank.

Tree frogs tend to stay high in the tank and only come down to soak and feed. So long as you provide a place for them to eat and a water bowl to soak, it should be okay. The fish can live in a pond below.
There are quite a few tree frogs to choose from. Here is a nice post to get you started.

I have decided to put the large enclosure asside, im going to take the advice of so many people around the web and get better aquainted with some species, i'm going to be setting up a bunch of individual tanks for some pets i've always wanted, i have a fair bit of room. For frogs im going to be setting up a tank for some FBT and im looking at a seperate tank for a Pac man at some point.
Already picked up a kenyan sand boa today just cause it was cute XD
