    Bill covered what might happen, and yes, frogs should be similar size, otherwise smaller one might become food or just being bullied badly.

    what i wanted to say is quarantine should be for at least 60 days, if it is CB frog, way longer - 6 month for WC before you introduce them to each other. during that time fecal exam should be done, for WC - a few fecal exams. and actually i would very very strongly advise to get a cb, wc whites might be headache from vet. perspective.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    A fecal exam will determine if frog has parasites (worms, protozoans, etc.) in their intestines. CBB frogs have less chance to carry, although some do. Due to some parasite life cycles; a minimum of 2 fecals done 2 weeks apart is recommended. If your frogs are healthy and parasite free and the new frog has them, you could infect all from being in same enclosure or sharing items like cleaning equipment. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
