Yes, these are some of my tree frogs I caught locally. There are 6-7 more in the tank, but these 3 have started grouping up like a family recently, which is odd considering how different they all are. The light one turns white sometimes, and the dark one is very bumpy, like a toad. The green one is more common, and most of the others in the tank are like him, but smaller, and can change from green to various tan shades
There's also a fire belly toad in the tank down in the water. He was part of a group of 7 I originally had about 10 years ago. All but one died at least 5 years ago, and this one remains lonely since they became illegal to buy awhile back. Some of the ones who have died used to get visibly jealous of the tree frogs ability to cling to the sides of the tank, and a couple of them invested a great deal of time into learning how to scale the glass sides, which was amazing how they learned and copied the behavior when that shouldn't have been possible. Unfortunately, this one is not a climber, which may be how he survived this long, not constantly falling from a height of 2 feet onto his head.

I've tried growing various plants in there for the frogs to climb on with poor success. Usually, any plant I put in there will be consumed immediately when I dump crickets in for the frogs to eat. I had one plant that was great, the crickets wouldn't touch it and it was very strong so the frogs wouldn't damage it climbing. It finally died and I have no idea what the plant was, further efforts to locate a similar one have failed, so i'm now forced to try various substitutes until I can find something that works well. Most of the plants die or get eaten by the crickets, and I've spent hundreds of dollars so far with no real success, just numerous dead plants. The plant cover you see in the pictures is artificial.

I caught the white one on my daughters back porch, stuck to the glass door. I told her to grab it for me but she refused, saying she didn't want it to jump on her head. I told her it wouldn't do that, and reached out to snatch it up. When I did, it jumped off the glass and stuck itself right to me face, covering my right eye. Embarrassing.

It's been a long time since I've seen a tree frog. There used to be a wetland across the street. They're cute, I've never seen a white one before
