Bro, they can't live long after u convert them to freshwater. I tried before with damsel fish and after a month or so, they died for no apparent reason.

Maybe u should show us a photo of a hydrometer to show the salt content as u progress.

Good luck in ur experiment.

i doubt it is possible due to the fact that freshwater fishes and saltwater fishes function differently. Do update on the results
