can I put painted hermit crab shells in an aquarium?
do they leach chemicals? I bought them from petco...
 
I suggest you don't.
The paint will ship off eventually and the fish will eat or try to eat them.
This will cause them to die or either get sick.
The only way to put them into your aquarium is to boil them to get all the paint off then place them into the tank.

Hope this helps!
Good Luck!
