Vegetables and fruit

Hello,
I've got 2 bristlenoses, a mature male with an amazing set of bristles in with some platys, and a young (hopefully) female in a tank with some cories.
Besides courgette (zucchini), I've found that my bristlenoses love mange-tout, sugar snap peas and melon. My pygmy cories also eat the courgette if the bristlenose lets them near it. Can anyone recommend any other vegetables/fruit I can try? They (BN) regularly get Hikari algae wafers and the female will eat any food I put in for the cories such as flake and catfish pellets. I've found that the younger of my BN, in a tank with cories, gets very aggressive towards the cories when there's food around. Is this normal for a BN?
Thanks for any replies.
