    Years and years ago Kordon with the help of some Japanese chemists and biologists made a solution that could keep both fresh and salt water fish, they called it sweet water as it was sugar based. It worked and they were able to keep both fish together but never caught on as even the most docile of marine fish was bullying the fresh water fish. The team tried everything cichlids and other flat out mean freshwater fish and no matter what the marine fish always bullied them.

    It fell off and has never been attempted again.

    I've heard about it before but I have never seen it. It's interesting.

    It doesnt look like the freshwater swim bladder would last long in brackish much less full marine....is that why they are so bloated? or is it not full marine water? I have tried time and tiem again to convert them, I did at one point and time have a SnowFlake freshwater eeel but he was taken from the waters in the orient in a brackish pool so he was easy to bring over....He was foun d in Tialand in a brackish river....\
