From what I understand... They really only live in freshwater as juvies as a nursery then travel out towards the ocean... So far i have had no problems with it being in freshwater over 2 years... He has grown excellent and has a good appetite...
But.... I am no expert. Far from it... Just a dude with an eel... I have been scorned for keeping him in fw. But until I have more time/money he will stay in fw
 
I had a G. tile for over 3 years in pure fresh and people say they won't last. I think that they do fine assuming you meat their requirements.(large tanks, hard water, 80 degrees F, and get them eating an mixture of foods.)
 
looks great! i need to get a video of my SA swamp eel eating. he eats almost everything too.
