That's a pretty good sized tank. As far as crabs go, you need to get the smaller variety so that they don't bother the fish. Here's a link to a good site about crustaceans. I don't have a lot of information about frogs, but I can show you a site that has some of the more popular and readily available frogs. Frogs and water dogs are fun. I'd checked out the water dogs, just in case.

For fish, you need to get some relatively large ones, but they can't be cichlids or anything that will eat the frogs or a fish that eats crustaceans. You can never be too careful. Maybe some Mollies, Platies or something around that size? I'm not a big expert on fish, frog, crab compatibility.

Good luck,
Valerie

P.S.
Since he's 8, you might want to make sure that he takes care of all their needs.
