Algae disks work great. They are able to munch on that no matter how little they are.

Also putting a slice of cucumber in there will attract them for feeding.

Hey Skunk! Congrats on your new BN fry! I am trying to get my Albino BN's to breed, so do you mind telling me about your experience (if you can)? How old are the fry now? How many do you have?
I hear they are pretty hardy breeders but I am so far having no luck, did you do anything special? Please let me know, thanks!

Zucchini (aka summer squash, or Corgette) is another veggie you can feed them. As for breeding, water changes seem to help, and they seem to like well oxygenated water (powerhead or strong circulation). Give them multiple spawning sites (driftwood, pvc pipes, overturned flowerpots, coconut shells), and provide some live food in addition to the usual algae and veggies.
