Though, I'm perplexed by a fresh water fish surviving in salt water, let alone at this stage of their lives, I wouldn't trust a live barer's birth to be an indication of water quality. It's been my experience that they will breed and breed and the water quality makes little difference. Make sure you test the water with proper test kits to be sure. :)
