    Yeah...there are a few species that can go into SW. And mollies are one. I would love to know why, because it seems to me that they would be instantly dehydrated and keel over (well, instantly over a few days). I think that will be today's lesson learned for me.

    crayfish when cooked to eat must be cooked alive cause when they die they release a toxin thus if they die before cooked you'll get very sick. so i am shure if that same toxin is released in your tank it can't be healthy for your system.
