Like most cells, amoebae are adversely affected by excessive osmotic pressure caused by extremely saline or dilute water. Amoebae will prevent the influx of salt in saline water, resulting in a net loss of water as the cell becomes isotonic with the environment, causing the cell to shrink. Placed into fresh water, amoebae will also attempt to match the concentration of the surrounding water, causing the cell to swell and sometimes burst if the water surrounding the amoeba is too dilute.

How does salt water residue differ from fresh water residue?
Fresh water is from rain or snow and is very pure and free of dissolved salts. Salt water is sea water and contains salts (mainly sodium chloride ie common salt)brought in by rivers over millions of years which cannot escape and the sea therefore gets more and more salty every year. Well fresh water evaporates and with the salt water the salt stays in the water that hasn't evaporated yet.
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.
