Might be a problem if the fish try to eat the frogs.
Here the only true enemy of of the dart frogs are spiders, nothing else even toys to bother them.

...but the poison leaching into the water.....you don't see that as an issue?

I would expect it would be absorbed through mucous membranes, especially areas rich in blood vessels like the gills

The frogs here, seldom enter water, except to breed, they sometimes carry tadpoles on their backs. They are not at all like common swamp type semi-aquatic frogs of the US.

but the eggs are laid in Bromeliads..

I have heard they move the tadpoles from the bromeliads to the water once they get bigger, not sure if it is true.

and what's stopping the snake from eating the frogs and fish.........in other words, their main diet????

the Bromeliads collect water in their center, the eggs are laid then the tadpoles climb onto the parents back when they are big enough. The remaining 2-4 tadpoles that survive do so by eating their siblings in the meantime

Science!! Maybe a well fed snake and cheap tankmates
I remember a reptiles magazine article that had a single green tree python with dart frogs and day geckos, it must be catalogued somewhere. They also had a multi-species caldarium set up many years ago with some relatively cheap creatures.

yes, awesome, 3 animals from completely different continents that would normally share a biotope in the wild. Genius if you ask me.
