BTA spitting food out

I have been feeding my BTA silversides. Recently it has taken to spitting them out. I am wondering, does that mean it is not hungry? I was feeding it twice a week but the last two times it takes the piece and then later spits it out. Nothing has changed in the size of the piece or when I give it to it. Any thoughts?

I have heard Tiger prawns are good.
Also krill, clam flesh.
