probably not, marine fish are designed to osmoregulate at a very specific and unchanging salinity (usually a SG of 1.025) whereas brackish fish by nature are adaptable to anything from fresh water to fully marine but are usually situated around a SG of 1.008. odds are if you put a marine fish in brackish water it would die

Why marine fish cannot survive at fresh water aquarium?

It is about osmoregulation. Salt water fish has some level of salt in its cells, which is low in concentration than marine water and more than the freshwater. If you put a saltwater fish in fresh water, excess amount of water will enter the cells of the fish and the cells rupture. This is why salt water fish cannot survive in freshwater.


Why can't marine fish survive at a fresh water aquarium?

Some marine fish can live in fresh water. But most marine fish are adapted to salt water; because of the salt in the water their body needs to do things differently, and they are used to being in salt water. If you put them in fresh water, their body can't do the same thing, therefore most of them die. For more information, see the related question.


When making salt water for marine fish what ratio of water to salt do you need to keep the fish healthy?

One pound of salt for every one gallon of fresh water. Also, as the water evaporates, add only fresh water...and slowly! When I kept fish, I would drain half of the remaining water, then mix in the fresh water, then put the mixture back into the tank. This prevents the fish from getting a fresh water shock. The water will evaporate and leave the salt behind, so if you add more salt, it will be too much.

Why marine fish die when placed in fresh water aquarium?

They're designed for salt water, not fresh water! Just the way they are made. You can get aquarium salt from your local pet store, but don't put any in there if you have other freshwater fish that don't need it. Or get a tropical freshwater fish like mollies instead!
