Yes, a film capsule will work or anything similar. As you are finding, CBB's like to poke their beaks into holes looking for food. I had fresh clam bits in there, as well as frozen PE Mysis, and they got used to going there. It contained the food, too. That made it easier to convert to dry food. There is no way a CBB would ever go to the surface for dry food, unless you used a method like this.
My CBB's didn't like the smaller Hikari mysis, although they would eat it. But they sure took to the larger PE mysis real fast. Most LFS carry PE mysis, too.
But you need to be persistent with new foods, a little at a time. They will initially spit it out, but if they are hungry, they will start accepting new food.
