first i have to say how long have you had the trigger? sometimes the trigger might be timid to new objects and in this case it's your tongs. If he's new then i would still use them and try feeding the bursa the silversides trying to get him used to the tongs also. Another thing is check your water quality and the health of the fish. I say this just because initial signs of a sick fish can be the slowing of feeding especially of a usually rambonxios feeder like triggers.
