I've had seashells in my cichlid tank for a few years now. What I do is
boil them for about an hour so all the bacterias are gone.

Thanx, that was what I guessed, but I wanted to check.

Did boiling them spoil them at all ?

Hello,

We have just come back from holiday and, having done the obligatory days
on the beach, have returned with a small collection of pleasant shells.
These came from the North-East coast of England if it makes any
difference.

Is there any problem with putting these in my cichlid tank ? Obviously I
would wash them first, but do I need to do anything else ?

TIA
