Default Saltwater Mollies??

Alright, so after reading the Feeding Live thread on here, we got to thinking. If it is possible to have mollies not only live for a short time, but live and breed in a saltwater tank, it would be great to watch our fish and especially our seahorses hunt for live fry. Since mollies are readily available and live bearers which breed often, we were thinking that it may be a good idea.

Of course we are not looking to throw in a molly directly into the tank, and hope for it to survive, but knowing that they are brackish fish, is it possible to have them live? I saw someone on here that said they had mollies in their tank for a year or so, I believe. We did a little bit of research and the acclimating time ranged anywhere from 4-6 hours to multiple weeks in a QT tank.

Anyone tried this, or are we out to sea with this idea entirely? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
