What else can be with him?

I currently have a Malayan Painted Bullfrog (not really a bullfrog) in a 36 gallon terrarium / aquarium. Well I was wondering what else I can cage with him (other frogs) I am thinking wtf (whites tree frog), white lipped tree frog, but what else? He is currently 3 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide.

Nothing!

Mixing species when it comes to amphibians is almost alwas a no-no... especially if yyou are new to amphibs.
To answer your question is that NOTHING can go in with him. Here are a few reasons:
a) frogs from different habitats carry a differnt culture of bacteria in their gut and elsewhere. They can handle their bacterial load, but when you introduce another animal from a different part of the country world etc etc, thier is a great certainty that these "alien" bacteria will cause a problem. Think about alll of the native americans that died when the europeans came over... this is essentially the same thing.
b) their is a good chance that the frogs may make a few attempts at eating each other
c) it is very difficult to provide a proper environment for animals from different habitats in one tank, even if they are from the same geographical location. A 35 gallon tank may seem big, but is quite miniscule when compared to the scale of a even something as small as a large bush.

There are at least a hundred other reasons I could give you for not mixing, but I haven't the time or the energy. It is generally ynot in the best interest to mix species. Nobody has proven to me in any way how a mixed tank can benefit the animals themselves. It is in the best interest of your frog(s) to keep them in tanks with only thier own . Thanks for asking this important question.
Good luck

creepie crawlie, listen to jay. I had to learn the hard way, it is way way to risky to mix frogs. 99.9 percent chance they will die

well frog man, either u lucked out, or they will die. They may be happy and healthy for 3 months, 3 years but i really doubt they will live their natural lifespan together.
