They "can" live in Fresh Water, but they will not live as long as they would if kept in Brackish.

It depends what kind of water they are in at the store where you buy them. Although they do best in brackish water, most stores keep them in fresh water. Buying a fish that was raised in freshwater and throwing it in brackish water would do just as much harm to the fish as throwing a brackish water fish in fresh water. If your fish was raised in brackish water, keep it that way. If it was raised in fresh water, I would start off in freshwater and raise it slowly to brackish.
