yes some species of brackish fish can be converted to a marine environment. For some examples guppies, mollies, puffers, and freshwater moray eels. The process is time consuming but can be sucessfully done. Once you get guppies and mollies to happily live in marine tanks you can then breed them in a marine environment and the offspring can be more easily acclimated to other marine tanks for use of cycling the tank or just keeping them as pets.

Fresh water fish cannot live in salt water and Salt water fish cannot live in fresh water. All fishes have their own way of adaptation according to their surroundings. But there may be some species that can live in both fresh and salt water.

not easily, although some freshwater fish are considered to be more at home in brackish, or a combination of salt and fresh water. These fish can be placed in saltier water over time, but it is time-consuming.
