Here is a pic of my 20l I just set up. I plan on getting 4 little frogletts at the end of september. Hopefully the plants will have grown in by then. Let me know what you think!

Looks nice. I would add some sort of a back ground, even if just a "paper poster" back ground. And maybe a small brom. They love to climb and hid in broms. Also maybe a co-co hut so they gots a place to hid.

Hi,
It looks really nice and I'm sure it will look better once the plants fill in. There are a few things I would recomend though so that you don't run into problems in the future.
1) You probably either want to add aquatic plants to the water area or lower the depth of it. A young dart frog could drown in the water without an easy way to get out. A clump of java moss or even just a few pothos clippings will provide aquatic perches for the frogs to hop onto if they accidentally go into the deep water.
2) A background on the terrarium would make it look a lot nicer and make the frogs feel more secure. Black tagboard taped to the outside of the aquarium will even just add a lot.
3) If the froglets are less than 4 months old when you buy them you might want to raise them up in a smaller tank first. Young dart frogs often have trouble finding food when placed in larger setups and it can be difficult to monitor them when they are so small unless they are placed in a smaller tank. A 10 gallon aquarium with some plant clippings, moss, a piece or two of cork bark for hiding and a substrate of moist paper towels would work fine for raising 4 dart froglets.
Good luck with it all! When you get the frogs I'm sure we would all love to see pictures,
