My lfs told me it would eat plankton, so i was suprised when a shrimp pellet fell on its mouth and it opened wide and took it in! Looked cool, here.s a pic soon after he ate it, you can see his middle is fat. Any ideas what else it might eat?

Well yes its true, but surprisingly enough, most foods, be it frozen or dried contain some amount of phosphate in them. I don't really think it something you should worry about. Overfeeding is a much greater problem than feeding shrimp pellets. The only way to ensure you have phosphate free(at least as free as possible) is to make your own food with ro/di water and blended/chopped up seafood.
