Hi Simon I remember (vaguely) an article in Aquarium Heute several years ago where they listed gut contents of a few fish species they caught. Amongst those was a A. agassizii and what they found pretty much matches what Mike Wise said, mostly insect larvae, crustaceans, debris and to some extent plant matter.
