To test whether salt water boils faster than plain water, you'll need a stove, two identical pots, water, salt, thermometers, and a timer.

Heat both pots at the same time, measure the time it takes for each to reach boiling point, and record the results.

Does a silver molly fish live in salt water or fresh water?
Mollies are one of the few fish that can live in both fresh and salt water. If you are moving a fish from one to the other you should acclimate it slowly by putting the fish in a container and very slowly adding water from the new tank. (Example: Going from fresh to salt you would add a little bit of saltwater to the container with the fish in it regularly until it was mostly salt water after an hour or so.)

Salt is commonly added to livebearer tanks because many of the livebearer species were originally collected/discovered in slightly salty water.

Like any other fish Mollies need good conditions. Ample room, (1"of fish=1Gal water+ 6sq" surface area) ample food and water parameters to suit them are not hard to provide. They are essentially algae eaters but also like a bit of live food too. Comming from warm brackish waters a temp around 70F and a little salt added (1tsp per Gal) would be appreciated.
