MacDracor said:While it's certainly possible to acclimate a freshwater fish to saltwater, if the fish doesn't naturally live at least part of it's life in saltwater, this can be very stressful, and lead to a shorter life.
I wouldn't recommend trying this on any fish that doesn't do it in the wild.
Lol i heard you can feed fish lettuce or cellary and some other greens

If money is the issue, you might want to stay completely fresh water then. All the $1.99 fish you can shake a stick at!Point is i cant afford a lot of sw fish. My 55 looks bare with just a pair of perc clowns.
