Slowly add drip, by drip.....from your saltwater aqarium . I use an air tube tied in a knot so it drips about 1 drip per secound. Drip directly from your aquarim into atleast a 2 gallon contaier . Put your fish and the water its in in your bucket. Then let drip on him until your contaier is full. When full pour half the water back into your aqarium. Simply let it fill up again . By the time its full your fish should be fully accimated

No they do not "need" salt in their water.

They're designed for salt water, not fresh water! Just the way they are made. You can get aquarium salt from your local pet store, but don't put any in there if you have other freshwater fish that don't need it. Or get a tropical freshwater fish like mollies instead!

Does a silver molly fish live in salt water or fresh water?

Mollies are one of the few fish that can live in both fresh and salt water. If you are moving a fish from one to the other you should acclimate it slowly by putting the fish in a container and very slowly adding water from the new tank. (Example: Going from fresh to salt you would add a little bit of saltwater to the container with the fish in it regularly until it was mostly salt water after an hour or so.)


Your molly fish always has it fin closed?

Does yon mollie WAGGLE, too? In an unhappy sorta way? Mollies like a bit of salt in their water...the term is 'brackish.' Not as much salt as in the ocean...but a *TINY* BIT of salt. Don't put in table salt, though...the iodine is not good. You can get aquarium salt, or sea-salt-for-people would probably be ok, too.

Whats the purpose of the salt for platys in a fresh water aquarium?

Salt is commonly added to livebearer tanks because many of the livebearer species were originally collected/discovered in slightly salty water. However, platys are freshwater and don't like salt in the water. Mollies like salt in the water. That's one of the reasons they shouldn't be kept together. (The salt softens the water, to a degree.)
