So I usually answer most of my own questions, however, this is something that I haven't come across before.
I used to have a freshwater Moray or, Gymnothorax tile. I know they are more brackish water, however, i've had no issues with it until recent. Unfortunately, I didn't lose it and I think it's because I wasn't paying attention to the salt content in the water. However, whatever the eel had transferred to my black ghost knife.
Attached is a picture of the ghost knife, sorry that it's a little blurry and not a great picture. However, my typical methods are not taking effect it's in a 120 gallon tank with a few other fish, I just tested the water, low nitrate and nitrite, there is a little bit of ammonia.
Test
Ammonia-. 25ppm
Nitrite- 0ppm
Nitrate- 5.0ppm
Salinity- 1.003

Normally, when I have issues like this, I do high temp. And salt, that's been my go to for a lot of things. I know it's not the cure all. But i've had great luck doing it now, I don't know what to do. I don't want to throw medications into the tank. You have other fish in the tank that I don't know how it's going to affect gold sharks, Bella sharks and other knives, I also know I'm going to be upgrading the tank here shortly, but I want to get this taken care of any suggestions.
I also have been doing 25 percent water changes, thinking that that may help thinking it's an ammonia issue, but sometimes it works, sometimes he looks better, I don't know.
