    The White's Tree Frog can be bought from Eco Culture, Qian Hu etc... But I don't really think a 1ft tank is suitable for them. They might be more comfortable in at least a 1.5ft tank.

    All the stuff you have in your aquarium can be used to make a vivarium. The gravel, wood, lighting etc... Even the plants! Just make sure that they undergo the transformation to emersed state first!...

    You can go Eco Culture to get some of the terrestrial plants that you might want to add to the set up. I think they sell emersed mosses too. NA also sells emersed moss. For other plants, a trip to the farms, or even just downstairs from your flat, sometimes can give you a lot of ideas. Just watch out for pesticides and remember to let the plants root and settle before adding the frog!

    Have fun and show us the result!

    Try not to reveal full price publicly. Some shops really do not like that.

    Cakchew, try to get at least a 1.5ft tank. The White's grow to palm size and the bigger the tank, the better.

    You can check AVA's website for the kind of animals you can keep as pets in Singapore.
