I guess you mean freshwater when you write "clearwater". Ocean dwelling fish evolved to live in water containing high quantities of salt and have a skin and coating that is designed to protect them in that kind of water. In fresh water their natural protection will not work properly and osmosis will happen and the fish will die. There are species of fish that can and do live in both fresh and sea water.
