From what I have read up on so far about whites tree frogs, they can apparently live up to 15 years..
If I had a brain, I'd be dangerous......

Get some fire-bellied toads, although they are more aquatic so might not be ideal. They look nice though

Only if you eat them... they produce toxins on their skin to deter from being eaten.
The water needs to be flushed in a setup regularly so the toxins don't build up, otherwise they can be killed by the build up of their own toxins
