Besides Algae, do I feed them sinking tablets, algae tablets, What?

Mine don't seem to be interested in anything else but algae. I have three in a 55 gallon and they're always stuck to the back glass. They will occasionally munch on Romain lettuce. So folks have success with spinach or zuccini - mine never paid any attention to it. I've tried algae wafers, but I've never seen anything but my Cories and Serpaes eat them.

Mine love zuchini, I also see them eating algae tablets.

Mine eat Hikari algae wafer bits, but only when they've scrubbed the tank thoroughly and exhausted their supply of algae.
