What other species of fish can live in saltwater aquarium?

I have heard monos and mollies have known experiments to live in both salt and freshwater,

since I experienced fresh before now I’m moving to salt.

I wonder if other species will live/survive both waters instead the two species that I’ve heard

I am also willing to add an angelfish too lol!

Mayan cichlids, vieja maculicauda, most of the genus poecilia, pretty sure scatophagus too, all can be acclimated to salt. Don't just dump them in though.

Also don't do Moorish idols. Extremely hard to feed.

In my experience, it's easier to just do a fish only saltwater setup with actual saltwater species than to try and acclimate freshwater species to salt, if you're already concerned about how you'll do keeping saltwater.

That's because monos aren't freshwater fish in the first place.
