It looks very bare. You could go with at most, 2 tree frogs, but I would avoid darts. In either scenario, I'd lose the fake plants, add more background and substrate, and WAY more plants.

Having all bare walls gives your vivarium that bare look. Why not make a background that plants can attach to on the back wall and at least one side wall? That will also make it more friendly to animals that need places to climb and hide.
