what about bacteria on soil and animals?
The reason i mentioned boiling is that many times i have read about peoples
fish dieing because they didn't use de-chlor to deactivate the bleach...
So....boiling may take longer...but it is worth it!

I don't know if i added this, but it is best to boil the rock to kill any
mico-organsims and bacteria on it...


Only if it's been underwater. There's no fish pathogens than can live
on a dry rock.

Bleach is quicker and easier than boiling rocks, too.
