The salt level in a salt based CHLORINATED swimming pool is about a tenth of the ocean average, so in terms of salinity I do not think the little guys will survive. On the other hand, I did enhanced the CHLORINATED word because the way the salt system works is by "breaking" the salt molecule (Cl + Na) and using the Cl to kill the bacteria - it then recombines back, and the system establish a "loop" of breaking out the Cl of the salt, again to the sanitizing. This means that IF, by any chance, the little Nemo survives (for few hours or days) the low salinity, the Cl will do the rest of the job... soon!
My suggestion: get a nice, salt water aquarium, near the pool... Or add few "plastic" Nemos in!
Yes they can also live in the Ocean, But they cannot stay in a properly balanced pool for long They seem to survive in salt water pools for their normal "season" refardless of water balance or condition. They do not appear to be harmful and can only be made to disappear with a chemical product that is hazadous to humans.
I don't believe so, and I think they actually help by eating things like mosquitoes. They can be a nusence when they are searching for food they will bite or sting.
