Nope. There are tropical and coldwater freshwater fishes, and tropical and coldwater saltwater fishes also.
Hope that helps! =)

Tropical fish aren't salt water fish at all! Salt water fish are marine fish from the sea and tropical fish are from warm lakes and rivers like the Amazon etc.

Tropical simply refers to the waters temperature, and has no bearing on salinity level. Tropical just means warm. You can have both freshwater and marine tropical fish.

What are commonly called tropical fish are typically fresh water fish that need warm heated water.
Marine aquariums contain fish that require saltwater.
Freshwater fish are easier and much cheaper.

No - there are many freshwater tropical fish. What exactly are you looking for?
Here's a good place to look at different species if you want to get some ideas.

This is usually the case but not always. You'll need to check before you buy the fish.

No, but majority are, some prefer salt water but can stand fresh, but some like brackish water (low salt water).
