they can live in fresh water i had one for quite a while till my tank got over run by snails i took him out and cleaned the tank he died a few days later and they make a salt for fresh water it helps kill bacteria in the water also help calm the fish you can by it a wal mart for like 2 bucks there is a difference between aquarium salt and marine salt

The eel probably died because you kept it in freshwater.
Contrary to what most stores tell you, these eels need brackish to full salt water.
