Bony fish that live in freshwater typically face the challenge of excess water entering their bodies due to osmosis, as the surrounding water is less saline than their bodily fluids. To eliminate this excess water, they utilize specialized kidneys that excrete large volumes of dilute urine. Additionally, they actively absorb salts from their environment through their gills to help maintain osmotic balance. This combination of urinary excretion and salt uptake allows them to thrive in freshwater habitats.

Why marine fish cannot survive at fresh water aquarium?
It is about osmoregulation. Salt water fish has some level of salt in its cells, which is low in concentration than marine water and more than the freshwater. If you put a saltwater fish in fresh water, excess amount of water will enter the cells of the fish and the cells rupture. This is why salt water fish cannot survive in freshwater.

Why don't fish explode in freshwater?
Fish in freshwater have adapted to regulate their body salts to prevent them from taking in too much water and potentially exploding. They have specialized cells in their gills and kidneys to expel excess water and regulate salt levels in their bodies. This allows them to maintain the proper balance of water and salts to survive in freshwater environments.
