How long did you setup your tank? How big your silver? What's current water temp? What's your water parameters? There is a lot information needed before we can help you out. If your tank already cycled and your silver is new then its just need sometime to settle in and silver can go on without food for weeks and depend on size some can even goes without food for month.

Look like everything in right place, the only concern is its diet. Did you recently change its diet? (if not it might having a hunger strike) and that might upset its digestion, just don't feed it and monitor it closely. I'm not the type of fishkeeper that will dump all kind of medicines into the fish tank before I know the exact problem

Is their another fish in the tank? My Midas stopped eating for a week and knew it was normal since time to time he does that. Had the fish for 6 years. He won't even eat if the food comes to his mouth. Usually he's aggressive and looking to spawn.

I've had many aros in the past and all ate like pigs. Might be parasite/fungal/ bacterial infection.

Let him starve for a few days and get it appetite going and go from there.
