Thats what I was wondering? If a person wants jewels why not put them into a FW tank?

This seems unnatural and even cruel to me. Why bother? I had jewels when I had freshwater tanks and they were beautiful fish but I have no idea why anyone would want to attempt to turn a freshwater fish into a saltwater fish. I cannot see that the fish would enjoy it - especially if you killed ten trying it out!

We do KNOW about fish, and we do CARE about fish. That's why there is so much concern here. If we wanted a fresh water fish, we'd all have fresh water tanks......we ALL realize that some fish do frequent fresh to salt....however we don't play God and try to turn a fish that is completely FW into a SW fish just because we can...sorry, that's my 2 cents but this just seems ridiculous...

Its amazing how you insult the same people you're trying to sell goods to. Pitty your 100's of Jewels.

[fatpuffer]

Those fish you mentioned i.e. puffers, mollies, etc. do naturally occur in higher salinity. As far as I know jewels do not...and in my personal opinion cruel to do so.

I couldn't agree more...

I have to agree that this is not just a bad idea it is completely stupid and I can't see these fish living for a long time as the conditions, while tolerable, will be stressful and shorten their lifespan. It's like putting Catalina Gobies in a tropical reef tank but even worse.

Oh, and if you want to lecture people on this forum form some high horse perhaps you should improve your grammar and spelling.
