my vivarium houses a green tree python and not frogs but i designed mine from dartfrog plans found on dartfrog websites.most people(including me) who have a waterfeature like a waterfall,dont really have a deep pool like you are asking about.there is quite a bit of water,and some can get pretty deep,but the water is below the surface trapped in the false bottom and only a small percentage of it is allowed to be exposed.this is for several reasons,one being darts are not swimmers by choice and do not benifit from large,deep pools.as for me,since i dont house frogs in mine,i could have gone with a large pool but decided against it mainly because if i included a large open water area,it would take ground space away from me,that i could better use for plants,moss,logs,mushrooms,litchens,rocks caves and other accents.its my opinion that these things are much nicer to look at than a large area of water,not to mention that they are functional and are things that your frogs can use,while a large water area would just be an area that would be avoided for the most part.if i were you id make a nice small waterfall or small pond in the corner somewhere and have things covering over the pond like branches or cliffs.this way your frogs wouyld still be able to use that area by climbing on the logs and rocks over the pond.
