A Saltwater Fish tank can be half freshwater and all of the saltwater fish will live but not for very long.
What else can I help you with?
Are freshwater or saltwater fish easier to take care of?
fresh water fish
What best explains why freshwater aquarium would be a dangerous habitat for saltwater fish?
because saltwater fish need cold water and saltwater
Are saltwater fish tanks hard to take care of?
Harder than freshwater ones. If you are a beginner, you definitely are better off starting with a freshwater aquarium.
If I am just starting out would a freshwater or saltwater aquarium be best for me?
Freshwater aquariums are much easier to take care of. The fish also cost less, so if you have some problems you're not flushing too much money down the toilet (literally).
Do goldfish live in deep water?
No. Goldfish are freshwater fish. Ocean is saltwater. Take a freshwater fish and put it in a saltwater environment and the higher density of the water will generally crush the internal organs of the fish. There are a few fish who can go into either and a type of water called brackish water where it is a mixture of fresh and salt that hosts different types of fish.
Why do freshwater boils faster than saltwater?
Freshwater boils faster than saltwater because salt increases the boiling point of water. The presence of salt in saltwater requires more energy to reach the boiling point compared to freshwater, causing freshwater to boil faster.
How long does salt last in salt water fish tanks?
Forever. The problem is, the water evaporates...and it doesn't take the salt with it. You need a hydrometer to test the specific gravity of your water so you know when to add more freshwater. (That sounds strange, but it's true: freshwater dilutes the saltwater so your fish don't die.)
What is the variable of which water boils faster saltwater or freshwater?
Saltwater boils at a higher temperature than freshwater due to the presence of dissolved salts, which elevate the boiling point. This phenomenon is known as boiling point elevation. Consequently, while it may take longer for saltwater to reach its boiling point, once boiling, it can sustain higher temperatures than freshwater. Thus, in practical cooking scenarios, freshwater will reach its boiling point faster than saltwater.
Can saltwater fish adapt to freshwater?
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.
Do fish drink fresh water?
"The answer to this question differs, depending on whether you're talking about saltwater fish or freshwater fish. Freshwater fish do not actively drink water, but absorb the water through their skin and gills. On the other hand, saltwater fish do actively drink sea water. Their gills process the water and take out the salt. The salmon is an interesting example of a fish that lives in both fresh and salt water, and consequently, they have the characteristics of both types of fish. Salmon are born in fresh water, and migrate to the ocean. While living in the ocean, they drink saltwater by opening their mouth; their gills then rid their bodies of the salt and minerals. When the salmon enters freshwater streams to spawn, they stop drinking the water and instead absorb it through osmosis (osmosis means that the water passes through the cells of the fish's skin into its body).
How do you turn saltwater into freshwater?
you take a bin put a cloth over the bin ,then you pour salt water on the cloth ,then you set it in the sun and let it evaporate into freshwater.
Is a damselfish a freshwater fish?
Damsel fish species include fish like Chromis and Clownfish (like Nemo). They are saltwater fish and if you decide to purchase saltwater fish, please make sure you know how to take care of them. Saltwater tanks must be maintain everyday, especially making sure that water chemistry and temperature is maintained. If you decide to get coral, you must have very strong lighting to simulate sun light. It will get expensive. Budget accordingly. Bigger tanks are easier to maintain than smaller tanks. Water chemistry stays more constant in larger tanks.
