This is the poor yellow lab that was bullied by the hybrids. I moved her into a 10g tank by herself. Her fins was shredded and she was very thin.
I am treating her with clean water and salt for the fins. 50% water change every other day.
But there is another issue. She is being very very picky about the food.
I have tried HBH veggie flakes, NSL pellets, and Hikari micro wafers. Everything she spits out. The only thing she has eaten is freeze dried tubifex worms. Shes also grazing on the algae on the ornament in the tank.
Now the question is how long can I safely feed her tubifex worms? Any other ideas for food for her?

Thanks in advance!

Gina, IMO there are two choices...

Feed her what she eats or just stop feeding her for a few days.
The fact that she is grazing is great, and that means she is eating.
If it were me I would not feed her for a few days, between the stress of being beaten up and the stress of a new tank she might be better off without food for a few days.
