As far as the substrate question I like using a drainage layer of something such as lava rock/clay pellets/false bottom etc. I have used all these types and really it just depends on how you want it to look they all work great. Then I add a layer of cocofiber mixed with sphagnum moss.

For looks as well as a nice top layer that cant be ingested I use magnolia leaves to cover my substrate. This helps it look like a forest floor and like I said before it also would be hard to ingest. Decaying leaf matter also promotes detritus feeders such as springtails and isopods which can be great for the breakdown of extra waste.

I use live plants all the way! Not only do they make it look more natural and they grow creating new and more dense areas but they can be just as fun to care for and keep as the frogs themselves. The plants like previously mentioned help with air quality and humidity and they can also absorb excess waste from the frogs providing a nice fertilizer for the plants.

My top recommended plants would be: pothos, peace lilies, chinese evergreen, hoya, and most philodendrons.

As previously mentioned I agree that a well planted 10 gallon can be better than a larger tank. No matter what size you choose make sure the vegetation is dense, as I have seen said many times "frogs don't float in air".
Good luck
