those are fairly similar to the one i have, only mine seems slightly smaller and it's more yellow, but there was some variation within the stock, where did you get them? this is as close to a pic of mine as i can find. ed

Your frogs are Polypedates leucomystax AKA Asian Tree Frog, Yellow Tree Frog, White-bearded Flying Frog, Golden Flying Frog, Asian Flying Frog, and the Golden Foam-nest Frog.
There is a fair amount of info on these guys,just do a google search on the latin name.
Here is one of the care sheets I found.

I just looked at your pictures,your tank looks nice but you will need a considerably larger enclouser.I have a 75 gallon tank for my 3.I might get one more in the future but I have to see how the ones I have now are going to do,they are wild caught and I'm still tring to get weight on them.They are eating good except for the little striped one.

you caught yours in the wild? wow how does that happen if there an asian? i 10 to start with i didnt know better. but i am constructing a 29 gallon with 10 gallon on one side so it it sits higher. im almost done with it gives them more room and also for me to put some more stuff on in. i moving in 2 months to bigger place so then i will get a larger tank.

I didn't catch them in the wild,they were imported from asia by a reptile supply company.Unfortunatly there are a lot of wild caught frogs imported in to America every year,some are sick,some never adjust to captivity.Mine are Just babies so they should be ok but one got cut yesturday and I'm having to doctor him.
If you are refering to my viv then no I don't have anything else in the tank besides the frogs.

that's a nice looking vivarium! is it just the 3 frogs and the plants or are there other things i'm not seeing? ed
