Certain fish, such as some kinds of sharks, have a special gland to process the salt changes in their bodies as needed. Piranha and fish without that gland living in a body of water with too much or too little salt would survive as well as an astronaut on the moon without a spacesuit.

Can saltwater fish adapt to freshwater?

no it will die quickly To answer you question, They will die if you immediately put them in a pure saltwater environment. You can though slowly change the salt levels and make a fish adapt to the salt. But there only a few fish that can do this and the salt can only be a certain level. So you have to get fish that can take lower level of salt. Actually either way, meaning there are probably a few saltwater fish that can live in an low salt environment. That way you complete your look.
