I hope he adds some methylene blue to kill the parasites, I got three telemarketing calls tonight! :ROFL:
 
Do you think the ocean was still highly saline during these times? There are Coelacanth fossils in Lake Aggasiz...and also shark teeth.
 
i think it is believed that life started in the oceans, and they were saline. but life can live anywhere, in sulphuric acid, places with no sunlight, anywhere. there was a thread posted not long ago about the "missing" link from fish type creatures, to "land walkers"
 
It was long believed that the coelacanth AKA Old Fourlegs was the missing link, but video has shown that the don't use their "limbs" to walk at all, at least not the species that is still alive.
 
I highly recommend the book "A Fish Caught In Time" by Samantha Weinberg, a great book about the history of the Coelacanth as we have come to know it.

Haha! Maybe that Tsunami in Asia was god putting some water back into the tank.
 
I would have to go with that fish evolved in both salt and freshwater. I definitely think there was a lot of crossover, but I don't think it was purely one or the other. Not much in the freshwater world has the color that salt does, and not many of the saltwater fish have the adaptations of fresh.
