Since most geckos, (even fruit eating geckos like cresteds) will attack something that is smaller than them and that moves--I wouldn't risk it. Especially with something as costly as dendrobatid frogs. Also its not usually a good idea to mix different frog species as some have toxins in their skin that aren't necessarily lethal (as in the case of wild poison dart frogs), but will still seriously injure or kill other amphibians. For example, I've seen countless pet stores housing fire-bellied toads with other species of tree frogs or newts, and be completely mistified when all their animals get sick.
As for the tropical fish, there are certainly some fish that could work, but how deep are you talking? I would recommend something hardy but not particularly aggressive--something like rams. Maybe some dwarf gouramis. And how are you planning on filtering this? I've seen this kind of thing done before--but its extremely difficult. If it was me, I'd probably use a fluval 404 cannister filter, so you could hide the intake and output tubes behind your "jungle." Maybe if you did the fish area off to one side and cleverly blocked the geckos from even being able to get over it, you could increase your potential number of species. Hope this helps.
