lowering the salinity is easier on the fish than raising it ,in an emergency you can drop the fish in a lower salinity and it would be fine, but the transition will be easier for the fish acclimation wise if the temp and salinity match the display and then drop the salinity by taking away saltwater and adding ro water. but as daniella stated raising it must be done slowly over time .
