salt or no salt

can any of these fish NOT have salt in their tank?
- balloon molly
- platy
- bumble bee goby
- mystery snails
- guppy
- threadfin rainbowfish
- african dwarf frogs

so my problem is that i bought a bumble bee goby and i read that you have to have brackish water for them. i dont have any brackish water tanks only full fresh or full salt. so i was wondering if i could add a little bit of salt to the tank he is in now will the fish listed above be okay will some salt in their tank? im most worried about the frogs thanks

Do not use salt. Return the goby unless you are prepared to set a new truely brackish tank up.

Have to agree with HN1 as the salt will kill the snails and frogs
