From those ideas I don't see why you need mainly freshwater at all, have a mainly fresh water, large lake and use that as a launching platform for salt water life. Just extend the timeline long enough for salt pumps and the like and you'll be fine But that's boring. I want to take the ecology of lakes and make it ocean sized. Your idea kind of defeats the point. Freshwater is supposed to be the main focus.
If there really isn't a way to have freshwater oceans, can I at least have a really, really big lake?
Just imagine oceanic alligators hunting schools of goldfish descendants, while while swarms of leeches feed on giant salamanders. Don't tell me that isnt awesome.

Projects Punga: A terraformed world with no vertebrates Last one crawling: The last arthropod
ARTH-6810: A world without vertebrates (It's ded, but you can still read I guess)
Potential ideas- Swamp world: A world covered in lakes, with the largest being caspian sized. Nematozoic: After a mass extinction of ultimate proportions, a single species of nematode is the only surviving animal. Tri-devonian: A devonian like ecosystem with holocene species on three different continents.
Quotes "Arthropod respiratory systems aren't really "inefficient", they're just better suited to their body size. It would be quite inefficient for a tiny creature that can easily get all the oxygen it needs through passive diffusion to have a respiratory system that wastes energy on muscles that pump air into sacs. (Hence why lungless salamanders, uniquely miniscule and hyperabundant tetrapods, have ditched their lungs in favor of breathing with their skin and buccal mucous membranes.) But large, active insects already use muscles to pump air in and out of their spiracles, and I don't see why their tracheae couldn't develop pseudo- lungs if other conditions pressured them to grow larger."-HangingTheif
"Considering the lifespans of modern non- insect arthropods (decade-old old millipedes, 50 year old tarantulas, 100+ year old lobsters) I wouldn't be surprised if Arthropleura had a lifespan exceeding that of a large testudine"-HangingTheif

Recent Projects The Lance That Pierced the Stars -The world of chordates throughout its history. A planet populated only by lancelets, algae, and zooplankton. Dogworld - A planet of Good Boys, man's gift to their dearest friends.
Old Projects The Twisted Mirror -my first project, in which some unknown event sometime before the carboniferous drastically changed the course of earth's evolution, and a new clade arose that replaced the tetrapods. And then evolution went nuts. Sphera Vitae -my second project. A universe of giant hollow spheres populated with life from Earth. Each is seperate and unique from one another, and some downright inhospitable, though life evolves and finds a way like nowhere else. Haemos Island - A tiny volcanic rock in the middle of the South Pacific. An island that is no paradise.

I've thought about a water world repeatedly, but a World of Fire is my main concern.
I used to play with rubber animals in the bathtub when I was around 8, and I developed a whole ecosystem. Would you guys like to see that?

It's orbiting a red dwarf, and the plants are orange. The placoderm-like group took to land, and the animals are hexapodal(well, basally...)
Hexapoda is already the name of a clade containing insects and springtails it can also be given to clades that don't exist on Earth. (also, its a word that means simply 6-legged)

and yes, that is awesome - that's why we're trying to help you.
(and the focus is whatever the project focuses on...for my KAT-1 project, I only paid attention to the life in an area that (at most) was the size of the Black Sea -- anything outside of that, i neither knew nor cared if it was freshwater or saltwater, because that wasn't where my project was looking)

Sorry for coming off as rude.
I think lake Bikal has some interesting implications for how this could play out.
Wait a minute. If rocks and sediments leach salt into the water, then how do we even have stuff like lake bikal?

I've had this vague idea for a while for an alternative universe in which Earthly organisms live, but in this universe magic is a real, nature phenomena, and can be used by many of the organisms. Here's some of my ideas:
Telekinesis: the ability to move objects without touching them. Examples include aquatic organisms which can float a ball of water into the air, with them inside it, to escape underwater predators.
Levitation: the ability to float yourself through the air. Examples include floating jellyfish which feed on aerial plankton, felids which can levitate themselves in order to catch birds, and frogs which can float themselves out of the trees in order to escape predators.
Pyrokenisis: the ability to create and manipulate fire. Examples include pack-hunting birds which create bushfires to drive prey out into the open, and tortoises which defend themselves from predators using explosive balls of fire (possible symbiosis, tree which can only release its seed after being burnt by the fire).
Transforming: the ability to transform into another object or apperance. Transforming animals have a certain thing which they mimic, so can only turn into that, or rather not turn into it, but appear to via MAGIC. Example includes lizards which turn into stones, insects which can turn into what look like actual leaves and sticks (super-duper realistic stick insects), and birds which impress potential mates through their ability to transform, changing their colour and plumage, and back again, in a flashing, transforming display.
And that's about it for now, my ideas are all out.

The thing is, if an ocean- sized body of freshwater was possible the ecology wouldn't be that different from an ocean. If you just dumped all the creatures you mentioned on a normal terraformed planet any of them could easily become marine anyway.
An "enormous lake" type project would be better accomplished with a planet with continents covered in shallow water (regardless of salinity) than just a giant saltless ocean.

I've had an idea about a water world for a while, 6 years to be exact. It's a giant world covered in tropical islands, I'm still working out if it's infinite or not. I have some ideas and I think it would be really fun. Would you guys like to see it become reality?
Just realized I posted this a couple days ago....derp.
Well, anyways, might as well post some ideas.
Among my ideas are large-hippo-esque amphibious elephants, large semi-aquatic macropredatory reptiles, and a hesperornis-like aquatic galliforme with a terror-bird killing beak, as well as pelagic newts with a blubbery covering.

To be quite honest, there are currently two water/island worlds so I think having another one would get repetitive.

I've checked them out, and honestly mine is quite different. And I'm pretty sure one of them is inactive.
Edit:Oh, you meant Nitwhite's as the second one. I thought you meant Mr. Mysterio's. Although if it is getting repetitive, then that stinks(to me).

How about an amphibious crustacean that frequently travels between islands? Or a migratory insect that alternates between islands depending on the season? Or a very distant island where there is no tetrapods, allowing arthropods more freedom?

Projects Punga: A terraformed world with no vertebrates Last one crawling: The last arthropod
ARTH-6810: A world without vertebrates (It's ded, but you can still read I guess)
Potential ideas- Swamp world: A world covered in lakes, with the largest being caspian sized. Nematozoic: After a mass extinction of ultimate proportions, a single species of nematode is the only surviving animal. Tri-devonian: A devonian like ecosystem with holocene species on three different continents.
Quotes "Arthropod respiratory systems aren't really "inefficient", they're just better suited to their body size. It would be quite inefficient for a tiny creature that can easily get all the oxygen it needs through passive diffusion to have a respiratory system that wastes energy on muscles that pump air into sacs. (Hence why lungless salamanders, uniquely miniscule and hyperabundant tetrapods, have ditched their lungs in favor of breathing with their skin and buccal mucous membranes.) But large, active insects already use muscles to pump air in and out of their spiracles, and I don't see why their tracheae couldn't develop pseudo- lungs if other conditions pressured them to grow larger."-HangingTheif
"Considering the lifespans of modern non- insect arthropods (decade-old old millipedes, 50 year old tarantulas, 100+ year old lobsters) I wouldn't be surprised if Arthropleura had a lifespan exceeding that of a large testudine"-HangingTheif
"Humans have a tribal mindset and it's not alien for tribes to war on each other. I mean, look at the atrocities chimpanzee tribes do to each other. Most of people's groupings and big conflicts in history are directly or obliquely manifestations of this tribal mindset."-Sceynyos-yis

You really love Arthropods.
I'm gonna stop derailing. I'll make a thread soon. Maybe tomorrow.
