First of all, it's important to know what species you would like to get. A White's treefrog (L. caerulea) has much different requirements than a red-eyed treefrog (A. callidryas). Only then will we have a better understating of what you'll need to do in order to prepare for one.

In any case, all tree frogs need lots of vertical space. Tall tanks are best, lots of climbing plants too. And just a water dish, tree frogs arent usually good swimmers.
Most tree frogs are very active and require food often, I'd say at least once a day.
I'm sure you will get better info from the experts on this forum when you decide on a species. Good luck.

Do you mean a Green Treefrog (Hyla cinerea)? This is probably the most common "American treefrog".
