Try dartfrog - There are some wonderful species and mostly captive-bred:

Pollywog also has dartfrogs from time to time and again all very healthy:

It doesn't really sound like you have done much research into them if you don't even know which species you want. Their care is not all identical, you know!

You will need to look into more detail about the frog you want to own, like others have said,

WOW be assured before i get ANY frog (or animal) their habitat will be tried and tested to make sure it is perfect! I have been cruzing Dart frog forums for a few months and read some books aswell as what i can find on google

Just to reiterate what others have said you do have to do a lot of research as each species has different requirements.
You can't research enough really. The most difficult aspect of their care is maintaining a continuous supply of suitably sized foods.
As juveniles most need micro-crickets and/or fruit flies which are not easy to find from standard pet shops.
Master culturing the food before you think about getting the frogs.
