Question about housing different tree frogs together?

Hi All,
I was curious if anyone out there with greater tree frog experience would know the following:

I want to house a couple of each Barking Tree frogs, Green Tree frogs and gray tree frogs together. IS this possible without them cannibalizing each other?

I know from a friend that Barking TFs will cannibalize other smaller frogs and typically they can grow a little larger than Green or Gray TFs.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
R

I know from experience that the grays and greens are alright together, though if you're super picky, the grays like a slightly lower temperature (I wouldn't worry about it), but I'm not so sure about barking TFs. If the barking TFs are large enough to swallow the grays and greens, I wouldn't do it. However, if they only attempt to swallow a head (disturbing, I know) I don't think they'll try it too many times before they realise their roomates are too large to eat. If it were me, I'd go with male barking TF's and female greens and grays, so that they'll be as close in size as possible. I wouldn't be opposed to trying it, though. If the barking TFs get too large, you can always remove them.

The barkers will get huge quickly then eat anything that moves near them, even in a heavily planted large enclosure.

I have kept all 3.

I've kept all 3, and cuban treefrogs. the cinera and chrysoscelis will do fine together.

barkers and cubans have a tendency to eat anything that fits into their mouth. if you wanna keep all 3 together, keep barkers that are slightly smaller or the same size as your other frogs.

I've kept greens, grays and barking treefrogs in the same tank without problems. An adult barking treefrog cannot eat an adult green or gray treefrog. Barking treefrogs are the bigger of the three - but they're not that much larger.

Also, it helps to have a low wattage basking light with a branch that the frogs can climb on to thermoregulate. Barking treefrogs seem to bask often.

One of my barkers:
