That's what I was thinking as well, but got to know about the three months part. Do you think the water feature is enough water for them. It's had a shallow pool at the bottom that they can sit in? Or should I add a water bowl

This looks like a very nice setup, but as others have noted, the Auratuses and Tincs tend to be more ground dwelling, while this setup seems geared to a more arboreal/climbing species. If this wasn't your first dart frog, I would probably be thinking Pumilios or thumbnails.
As far as beginner darts go, I believe that the Leucomelas are the most into climbing, so you may want to look into some of those.
I think the water feature is fine. I believe that darts don't really do much with standing water, apart from depositing their tadpoles in it. What I would suggest is that you rearrange the bromeliad so that it is upright and can hold standing water in its axils, as that's the water that they're more likely to actually utilize.
Disclaimer: I'm not any kind of dart frog expert. I kept a few back in ancient history, but without really knowing what I was doing, and I've been lurking on Dendroboard for awhile, but that's as far as my knowledge and experience goes.

There's an application available for calculating vivs, if you download the demo at TerraBygg and look at the default settings, that cage should be about 32x20x20 (the application measurements are in millimeters).
Water features in a dart frog tank are good for keeping humidity up and to look at, but the frogs won't do much with it. Really a Dart frog will only sit in water and soak if there is a humidity issue present in the tank.
Chris74 if you are looking to find the gallons of a tank you can multiply the Width x Height x depth and divide by 231 (for us gallons)
