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".

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
