no it will die quickly
To answer you question, They will die if you immediately put them in a pure saltwater environment. You can though slowly change the salt levels and make a fish adapt to the salt. But there only a few fish that can do this and the salt can only be a certain level. So you have to get fish that can take lower level of salt. Actually either way, meaning there are probably a few Saltwater Fish that can live in an low salt environment. That way you complete your look.
