There are many varieties of food for bottom eaters out there. Hakiri has both sinking wafers and sinking algae wafers. Teramin makes sinking food, and Omega One has sinking shrimp pellets. Any of those would round out your BN and red tail's diets.

Zucchini slices are also a good thing to put in the tank for the fish.

How small should the slices be? thin? like smaller than the fish's mouth?

Just a slice of the zucchini, probably about 1/4" thick. The bottom feeders especially will nibble away at it, so it's fine to be larger than them.
