I caught two pinfish today to feed my pet snapping turtle. I put them in a bucket and diluted the water for about 10 minutes to make it more fresh. I put a little saltwater into my snappers aquarium because snapper tolerate saltwater for as much as a week. the aquarium i believe is now 4/5 freshwater. the pinfish appear ok. they are actually more active then the two mummichogs. mummichogs are much more resistent to freshwater/lowoxygen/temperature they have been in the tank for about 4 hours now. the snapper will probably hunt and kill one of these fish overnight.

Fresh water is either melted ice or desalinated sea water.
the difference between fresh water and potable water is fresh water can come form the ground, and/or, ice burgs.
Mostly North America, with the artic being filled with fresh water and fresh water iceburgs. But, fresh water is scattered throughout the world.
Everywhere that there is fresh water.

I ate spotted pinfish tonight and I'm still alive, so I guess so.
They are in fresh water. Do you think goldfish come from the ocean?
Rain is fresh, and various lakes, rivers, and glaciers contain fresh water (although lakes and rivers are often polluted).
From the sky (as snow, rain or mist/fog). Note the planet Earth has a WATER CYCLE, fresh water production is part of this cycle.
Mollys (Poecilia sp.) are usually regarded (and kept as) fresh water fish but they actually come from brackish water originally. With slow and carefull conversion they can be kept in fresh or salt water environments.
We get fresh water from the rain. As we do not harvest rain water, it is flown to the streams like sources and ultimately reach sea. The other portion is penetrated to the underground. We receive this water from well etc. We can try to retain fresh water from the rain.
