I bought two albino algae eaters for my striped raphael/pleco tank to liven it up a bit during the day. I had alot of algae on the sides(I think it looked nice) and after getting these guys the whole tank is pretty much clean by now. Just a small section left for them to graze on.

What do I feed these guys after they eat all of the algae.Can I just toss in a few Hikari algae discs for them?
 
as well as the hikari algae wafers, veg such as corgette(sp?) aka zuchinni, some need some meat/protien in their diet so some sinking pellets and or prawn. a few species also need wood to rasp as it aids their digestion.
