Sick Eel...Don't know what to do.

I have a zebra eel and it was perfectly fine for quite some time. All the sudden it stopped eating and started breathing heavily. Then it started acting real strange. It would just stretch out and twitch. Then it started to hangout upside down and get stuck in the rock work. Now its just sitting out in the open breathing heavy and not moving. Trying to see if anyone has an idea as to what might be going on and how to treat it. I know not to do a copper treatment as it can be deadly to eels, but I don't know what else to do. Thanks for any and all help.
 
Added note. Everything is normal except my nitrates are up, probably due to over feeding. Came down to about 40 now.
