marine and freshwater fish in the same tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I know some FW fish can live in saltwater. But I see a lot of FW fish in there I know cannot live in SW. This got my curiosity going.. I found this.

That aquariums quite famouse
I went to see it myself and was surprised to see both sw and fw doing so well
There was even an asian aro
 
I saw am aquarium once that housed a pack of RBP with neon tetras. Turned out the aquarium was designed so that when you looked at it from the front everyone was together, but when you went around to the back there were two separate tanks. Optical illusion. And I watched part of those videos - could be Photoshopped.

Don't think these videos were either photoshopped or illusion. Both saltwater and freshwater fish were eating from the tube together and I see no evidence of illusion.
 
Even if this is possible...why would you even want to?

Its not like mixing freshwater fish from different localities e.g. SA and CA cichlids, which isn't natural but still "works".

This is retarded.

Why not? I think its interesting and why it should be different from mixing fishes from different environments in same aquarium? It happens in nature too as it is not uncommon to caught few freshwater fishes in saltwater and I've heard of carps spawning in salt marshes and got shot by bowfishers. Then there's invasive lionfish are found in almost freshwater environments.
 
Why not, aquarists are looking for novelty, this is why they invented glow fish, bubble eye goldfish,and flowerhorn. But I much prefer to acclimate saltwater fish into freshwater tanks than vise versa . Why bother to place less colorful freshwater fish into hard to maintain saltwater tank. Few freshwater fish can match the intense color and unlimited body shape of marine fish and I love to place a few in my freshwater tank if they can survive.

Salt water is easier if done properly. That being said to do it properly it costs much more to set up a quality salt setup than a larger freshie setup.

And then there's a price on these super colorful reef fishes. Cheap ones aren't that colorful.

I would love to get saltwater reef fishes that can thriving in freshwater or at least they should just send me the special water they have.
