Today was the first day I fed him live food. I went to my LFS and got 5 ghost shrimp. 6 small snails, and 6 feeder guppies. Within 1 minute of the dropping all the food in, the snails were gone. He obviously just loves snails. He hasn't touched anything else that I know of, except that I'm typing this from class. The ghost shrimp just hide, but they are actually kind of cool to look at. Not a bad $2.12.
