    No mealworms. Offer her crickets. She may eat live bloodworms if they were to move alot, but probably not. Pillbugs might also be eaten by her.

    You definitely want a land section for them to climb out of the water, but she will spend most of her time in the water. Be sure to do regular water changes to prevent bacteria growth and ammonia buildup in the water.

    Rocks are ok as long as its not Limestone. Limestone will make the water acidic and may kill the frog. Fish would have to be very small and will dirty the water. Plus Thiaminase a chemical found in most fish causes a Vitamin B1 deficiency if fed to the frog too often.

    You will also have to make sure the rocks are secure and cannot move. This way they don't crush your frog. Read the care sheet I posted for you. It will help and has alot of great info. Plus it has a good example of a setup for this species.

    My toads are in a fully aquatic environment. I have a 40 gallon long aquarium for 5 toads. The aquarium has about 3 or 4 inches of water. They have rocks and logs to sit on when they need to come out of the water. They spend 75% of their time in the water. I feed them dubia roaches and feed them on the rocks. There are two large flat rocks that stick about an inch out of the water. I just dump the roaches on the rocks and they don't go anywhere. It works well.
