There are several livebearers that can be acclimated to live in a sg of 1.020 to 1.023.
I have seen several sailfin mollies who have survived under these conditions.

I know that Mollies can thrive in saltwater. I have even seen them breed (okay not the actual act...but I did see the babies born) in saltwater.

Only question I have is why would you want one in there (other then lion fish food).
