I don't want to step on anyone's toes here but PDFs are not good swimmers. That's an expensive animal to have drown. IMHO, It would be feaisble to mix certain tree frogs with fish, but it's a compromise on the frog habitat side and a compromise on the fish habitat side, at best. Meaning both habitats will be less than what they were had the entire enclosure been dedicated to either one.

PDFs are not poisonous in captivity so there shouldn't be a toxicity issue for the fish.

Aquapants, if you already keep fish then you're probably not a novice at this, but if you are new at frogs, then I would recommend keeping frogs alone first and see how that goes. When you know what to do with frogs and are familiar with keeping a species that you think could live comfortably over water, then at that time go ahead and mix.

Mixing species is not for beginners. If you need help and information, this is definitely the place where we can share what we know with you...

edit: oh yeah and I wanted to add... archer fish will knock frogs off branches overhanging water and compete for insects with frogs
