hello mate

i keep a lot of those fish and use prawns a lot, BUT not for those fish, for my bigger fish,

the issue would be getting the bits small enough (prawns), i personally wouldnt bother, if you dont get the bits small enough, they will rot in the tanks, and enough left over bits of prawns can lead to ammonia and nitrite levels

Although your bristlenose, plecs and loaches might finish them off, i say not worth it to be honest.

Tiny bits of mussel is what i occasionally use as a treat for my small community fish, its easy to get into very small bits, but even then i dont use it much, can make a mess
