Did you try cutting them up? Epsom salt isn't really like salt, it's a muscle relaxer and constipation helper. If he is constipated he may be uncomfortable. Do a water test again today and post the results, as well.

He is pretty big for that size of a tank. Does he have enough room to turn around adequately?

Okay, well I guess just treat with the Epsom salt, and keep trying different foods. Try snails, earthworms, rollie pollie (potato) bugs, any freshwater muscles or shrimp (uncooked and unseasoned). Hopefully he will decide to eat.
