I disagree.  My fish have always been healthier with a low level of salinity. 
 Mollies, which I don't keep anymore, like a level almost half that of 
salt-water.  The thing to remember is that in the wild there is no such thing 
as salt-free water.  Even the freshest mountain spring water has some mineral 
content in it, which tap water does not have.
