What is your SG, temp, nitrate, nitrIte, and ammonia?
How long has he not eaten? My G. tile will sometimes not eat one day, and be fine the next, especially after a large meal.

sg inbetween 1.008 and 1.010 nitrates should be very low i have a huge java fern and a large mangrove sucking it up plus my archers are fine but anyway he eats freeze dried krill,silversides and sometimes massivore i just now added some more caves for him so he wont be as stressed but should i add more salt or healing salt?
no, your SG should be fine. fasts are not uncommon. is he gasping at all more then normal? does his belly look full yet or is it starting to sink in? I would check your nitrates just to make sure. I don't test my water often.. but if anyones off I do a full diagnostic because you never know.

gasps less ill just treat for nitrates anyway but ive put more cover in and ill leave the light off for a while stomach looks fine
I would say it's probably nitrAtes. If you don't test for them, and rely on one java fern and one mangrove, they are probably through the roof. (For an efficient mangrove filter, you need 20-30 trees, more for larger tanks.)
How is your temperature? I'd do some water changes with premixed salt water (same SG as he is currently in.)

moray is finnaly eating again after increasing salt sg and he is eating freeze dried krill for the moment he attacks massivore pellets but only rips them up and doesnt eat them but have a question i was planning on adding some more fish mainly either a silver dat or a few monos would this affect the eel oh also he has a better hideing place now so he feels more secure now any food suggestions besides frozen and freese dried krill and pellets he doesnt like silversides
