Thats a Gymnothorax Tile, commonly called a Freshwater Moray Eel. They can survive in freshwater, but tend not to eat and grow well. They should be kept in a Brackish tank. The green scat is also a brackish fish.
The difference between fresh and brackish water is that brackish water has a small amount of marine salt added to it. The same salt used in saltwater tanks, just a lower quantity.

Ok cool but how do I add salt or how does it work and what other fish can I add to the type of tank

Your scat is also brackish. So 2/3 of the fish are brackish. The clown loach will not tolerate brackish water very well. Really what you've got going on are 3 fish that can't be successfully housed together, long term.
So you're essentially going to have to decide on the loach or the other two, or separate them into one brackish and one fresh tank.

Thats hard to say, some have had luck keeping them in freshwater for years. As long as he is eating, he should be ok for a little while. But get him into brackish water as soon as possible.
The american eel is the only true eel that I can think of. Otherwise there is a variety of spiney eels (not true eels), or a rubber eel, also not a true eel I believe
