What will be the fluid of an osmoconformer in a freshwater environment?
SotoniPeterside
Osmoconformers regulate their body fluids by maintaining internal osmolarity that is equal to the water surrounding them. In a freshwater environment, there would be no osmolarity; it applies to salt and seawater.

marine invertebrates
Are freshwater Euglena isotonic with their environment?
No, they have a contractile vacuole to eliminate water that enters from their hypotonic environment
What is difference between osmoconformer and osmoregulator?
Osmoregulator have to use energy to gain or loss water, because their body fluids are different from their environment.(osmoregulation is the process an organism uses to balance the fluids/water)Osmoconformer, on the other hand is, are organisms that have body fluids that are the same as its environment.(They don't gain or loss water during osmosis. Therefor they don't have to worry about using energy to combine ammonia with carbon dioxide ---because they excrete ammonia)
What is the difference between osmoregulators and osmoconformers?
Osmoconformer adjusts to the osmotic concentration of its surrounding so that the osmoregularity is the same at the medium. Osmoconformer maintain its own osmotic concentration regarldess of the surrounding medium.

What is Freshwater Ecology?
Ecology addresses the relationships between organisms and with their environment. Freshwater ecology studies those relationships in freshwater (non-salty water) environments.
