Some fish are salt tolerant and live in salt water (the sea) e.g. Tuna, Angelfish, lion fish, Ocean Trout, etc.

Some fish are adapted to live in fresh water e.g. Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Talapia, Catfish, Guppies, Mollies etc.

Some fish can live in both sea water and fresh water e.g Salmon, eels etc.
