Hyposalinity Adaptation Results

I got really bored with a hobby tank and decided to focus on a scientific tank for a year. Surprisingly, adapting numerous species to near brackish conditions was easily achieved within just a few generations.

I did lose most species when I left home for a week and forgot to turn the air conditioning on when I left. When I came home the tank was 95°F.

I also froze it in winter when I forgot to turn the heater on LOL.

Nonetheless, numerous species representing several different phyla survived and adapted.
