Hmmm... no, but I have heard that mollies can be acclimated to salt.

I have kept Black Mollies in all my SW tanks. I use them to cycle and try to keep a few in the tank for feeding. They are continously breeding and the fry make good fish food. My other fish would follow them around the tank day and night llike a parade looking for a free meal. They are very peacefull. just have to acclimate them slowly to salt water. Ive heard that all brackish water fish can live in salt.

yeah most live-bearers are brackish water fish (guppies, mollies, platys, etc...) and mollies do the best in a true marine environment (of all the live bearers). there are puffers (yellow-sot) that are brackish, and fish like mono-argentenus that are brackish also. there are several fish in the fish store that do well in salt or fresh and vice versa. i think a brackish water tank would be fun.

oh, FYI, brackish water is water that is typically found at estuaries... check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brackish_water
