They are kept about the same as red-eyes, but should not be mixed with them.

Make sure you have tiny crickets and/or a fruit fly culture. They are tiny. Give them plenty of plants to hide in as well. They are pretty easy to maintain.

Be careful with this due to common names. Clown Treefrogs can refer to several small Hyla species from central and south america including Hyla leucophyllata and Hyla ebraccata of which I currently care for along with a few other species. Clown Reed frogs however are also small "treefrogs" that come from Africa. I've not had any experience with these so I can not give you accurate advice on how to care for these frogs. If it is a small Hyla sp. then general care is very similar to that of a Red Eye Treefrog, but I'm guessing that it is not because I have been searching for these frogs for the past three months with no luck. Try to find some info on general care for Reed frogs.
I'm attaching a picture of Hyla leucophyllata for your reference.

Hey, I saw a picture of your ebbracatta in the kingsnake gallery. I was wondering where you got it, or if you know anyone else who is selling them right now. Thanks

the frog i got looks nothing like that pic. it is small and skinny, its a light brown to almost olive color with a brighter yellow on its thighs and toes and has a dark brown stripe do the middle of its back.

I just bought 10 more Reed frogs. They are amazing, every time I get them there is a pattern that I have nevr seen before. I gto a few clown phase but then I got some spotted and another with a reticluated pattern that is like grey and black. I don't know why they aren't more popular, especially since they don't need a huge tank.

Sounds like Afrixalus fornasini to me. Can be kept the same as most hyperolius species (reed frogs).
