Doubt guppies will. But Mayan cichlids apparently like salty conditions

Why would anyone convert FW fish to SW ? If anything, I would like it the other way around. I know you can do that with clown fish - never tried.

mollies and wild guppies can both live in full salt - their natural range extends into salt water estuaries.
A member at CAC has mollies breeding in his sw set up.__________________

Malayasian Trumphet snails can also be converted to salt and will continue to breed like crazy.

Orange Chromides (SE Asian species of cichlids). They like a bit of salt in their water & I've converted a pair to near full strength sw in the distant past before.
On the flip side, in the 80s, I slowly (over 8+ months) converted my seahorse to brackish (less than half strength sw).

It may be far cheaper to restock my SW with guppies and mollies.
But why
