Nice job-- Keep us posted on the progress. At least start with a single speci. There are more cons than pros about mixing. Most all dart frogs are pretty territorial, and even though some people may tell you it is all right to mix some essentially ground dwellers with the arboreal species that utilize bromeliads, it doesn't always work that way. For instance, my galacs use the bromeliads for resting and soaking and climb all over, even in the high branches, although they aren't supposed to do this. Someone forgot to tell them the rules. There is also the problem of hunting competition, intimidation, stress. I think these guys each deserve their own space and habitat planned just for them.
I can promise that you are going to want another vivarium, anyway.
