Seagrasses are marine plants that have adapted to grow in saltwater environments, where they rely on saline conditions for physiological balance. When placed in fresh water, the osmotic pressure changes, causing their cells to take in excess water and potentially leading to cellular swelling and damage. This disruption in their internal balance affects their metabolism and can ultimately result in their death. Additionally, the lack of necessary nutrients and the altered microbial environment in fresh water can further stress and kill seagrasses.

Why should a fresh water fish be placed in a fresh water aquarium?

The fish will need to be placed in a suitable container with suitable water that has suitable parameters. Without water a fish will die just like you would die if your air supply was removed. If the fish was a fresh water fish and the water was salt as opposed to fresh, to the fish, it would be similar to what would happen to you if someone put poisoned gas in your personal air supply. You would be extremely ill and then die. So would the fish.
