The one frog per 5 gallon is an estimate, but it is only rarely not followed. Many frogs will use the whole terrarium, but some really won't. Tincs and Azureus will mostly stay on the ground. Another consideration is some arrow frogs don't do well in groups (fighting and eating eggs). For a 29, a group of 5-6 auratus (many color morphes) or leucs would be a good first time setup. Both of these types of frogs are good beginners, cheap (don't pay over $30 a frog for those two species) and will use the whole terrarium (I've found leucs will use more upper parts than auratus). As far a lights, it depends on the plants.
