Pellets
Shrimp
Dried Mealworms
Red and Green Leaf lettuce
Romaine.
My frozen treats
Hard boiled eggs.

How long had she been like this? Have you ever used live feeder fish with her?

around 2 weeks, i originally thought she had RI but she has kept no symptoms of it, i now believe she is egg bound. She has around 30 golf fish in her pond, might be worth a shot to try some feeders.

Yea, you basically tried the major ones that gets anything to eat. If the feeders don't work either, you could be right on the egg bound.
