Define "success." If you mean can they live out their natural long lifespan in a healthy state, then I believe the answer is no.

In freshwater they are more prone to disease and will not live as long a life. For the amount of marine salt you have to use to maintain a brackish environment of 1.005, it's worth the expense.
