What type of fish are in Utah's Great Salt Lake?

This something I've always wondered. Any aquarium fish from there and what are the water parameters?

brine shrimp - nothing else can stand that level of salinity

They thought that about the great crystal caves too. I would be willing to bet there is something down there even though common knowledge is that it is pretty much devoid of life.

try fishing there, if you get somthing make sure you record it!!! if not then that answers your Q lol

I strongly suspect that there are at least a few species of fish which could live there. Namely in the poeciliidae genus.
