Welcome to the board.

How many gallons is the tank.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

I use fresh veg but I suppose you could you frozen.You just blanch the veg for a few minutes.

No, out of the things you've mentioned the prawn should be an occasional treat, the rest (veg) should really be given daily/every other day. The algae wafers would suffice it but a good varied diet will keep it far healthier

LOL, yeh i know all about the 'old' feeling, your very welcome on the help . I would usually leave a prawn in for the overnight 12hr ish period, just on the safe side rather than it degrading and risking it playing havoc with water readings.

My BN's were pretty much the same, didn't really touch prawn but loved bloodworm. I guess it really is down to the individual plec to what they prefer.
