I have been seeing tree frogs on the windows of my house lately, can I put them in my freshwater aquarium?

My aquarium is 10 gallons, 2 months old, and has 5 adult guppies in it and 1 baby guppy. I have 3 plastic plants in there, and a thing that blows bubbles, if I lowered the water level, and put something where the frog could get to the surface, would it be OK to put some tree frogs in there?
Answers:
There are a certain kind of frogs that you can get a pet stores that live in water and come up to get air. Those are not tree frogs. If you lower the water in your aquarium of that size there will not be enough for your fish to stay healthy. Why not enjoy the tree frogs when they decide to greet you. What would you feed them? And how sad to limit them to just a little dry area in the tank. Also, as you no doubt know, they have little suction cups on their feet making it easy to escape from your aquarium. Bad idea.
Tree frogs are not aquaetic, so they need land. Plus you would have to catch bugs for it too eat. They are better off in the wild where they belong. Maybe get a dwarf aquetic frog at your local petstore, they usually aren't more then $5 each and they eat fish food.
Leave them in the wild, it's where they belong and you don't know what possible illness they carry.

Also, this should be a bit obvious but TREE frogs arn't aquatic.
no, because they are land frogs and will die if you put them in water!!i should know becasue i tried and the little froggie dies the next day!!
sure
No, tree frogs are not aqautic. You can get fully aquatic African dwarf frogs at the petstore. If you want tree frogs, don't take them from the wild - you can get a vivarium and buy some from the petstore.

That's cool that you get tree frogs on your windows, though. All we have where I live are toads.
