I'm pretty sure that osmosis has much to do with this, and freshwater is not good for archerfish. They have not adapted to living in water that constantly invades their cells, if that makes sense. Osmosis is a tricky subject.:%) |
smantzer![]() Big Fish Posts: 378 Kudos: 347 Votes: 10 Registered: 02-Nov-2004 ![]() | It's kinda like asking if a goldfish can live in a bowl. They can live in fresh water, just not very long, and eventually die because of complications with being in it. |
