Salt tolerant fish in PFK

[New Boy]

In practical fishkeeping magazine this month a reader has written in asking about mollies and the expert said that you can keep them in a semi-brackish environment with 'salt tolerant' fish such as kribs and rainbowfish - why are these fish considered salt tolerant and what other ones are? Do they have salt in their natural environment and therefore should they have a small amount of salt in an aquarium set-up? Is it right that tetras, catfish and barbs are salt intolerant?

Cheers

Mollys can live in either freshwater or brackish depending on what their breeder raised them in
