Pacific treefrogs are a small species, and smaller species usually grow slower than a big species. 3/4" seems about right, the average size(according to Stebbins field guide) is 3/4-2". I have caught many of these, and the have been all different sizes and colors. They are also extremely voracious when feeding, going after pretty much any bug I threw in there.
As a matter of fact, I just brought home about 20 tadpoles from my buddies creek, and they are pacific treefrogs. Great little frog, and your set up sounds good. They are mostly found in grasses and shrubbery and rocks, close to the ground and a source of water. A good way to feed these guys is to get a live bug trap like for kids, and feed this to the frogs.
