    Not true. Mollies can be acclimated into full marine, and can live long, happy lives at full marine salinity.

    One of the stores around here get's these little cat sharks... looks like a shark with catfish face.. They're from amazon river I think.. They don't get big like a normal shark. I can't remember the exact name of the thing but it's not cat shark.

    Most FW puffers can be converted. Almost all of my cousin's puffs were sold as FW and he has them all in his aggressive tank. Lineatus, spotted, figure 8.

    Sounds like the Colombian Shark catfish (Hexanematichthys seemanni (Arius jordani)), it's a brackish water fish that needs acclimatising to true seawater as it becomes an adult.
