Recently, I purchased what was sold to me as a freshwater moray eel. I had never seen anything like it, and since I was told it could live w/o salt, I bought it. It's been fine up until about 4 days ago, now it's getting this kind of white fuzzy looking stuff on it's top fin, and on the end of the tail. The tail is also developing these reddish sores. I know the stuff on the fin isn't detritus. What could the problem be, and how do I fix it? Any help would be appreciated.
