Hello
I too am new to amphibs, and as a newbe my self I am no athority, However, from most of my resaerch your tank looks to me like you have rocks or small pebbles in it. Alot of what I have read this past week says that you should never put them in your tank as they could be swollowed.
Again, I am new and am in no way an athority. Otherwise your set up dont look to bad. I used a substrate like bed a beast.I have branches, a water dish plants, and a hide.

Perhapps someone with more knowledge could help to enlighten us both.

No offense, but it really doesn't look like you did any research. Where exactly did you get your info from? and petco doesn't count.

Anoles and treefrogs should not be housed together, you no substrate, just gravel (which is terrible if injested and not very attractive) and you don't have many cage furnishings.

Do you have uvb light for the anole?
They will get metabolic bone disease if not.

Did you know frogs can eat anoles?
not good.

Why do you have gravel in the water dish?
that will be a pain to clean.

OK...now to make it constructive...
separate the two animals. change the substrate, get a uvb bulb for the anole, get some live plants so it looks good.

Your enclosure looks nice if you have light you could try real live plants they seem to prefer them but either way the Cuban treefrog as it gets bigger will EAT the anole.
If its to small now it will attempt to as it grows . I have seen Cuban treefrogs eat geckos-other treefrogs and anoles here in Miami at night .
Green treefrogs are another thing all together but Cuban treefrogs I wouldn't house with anything but same size Cuban treefrogs.
