I recently purchased a 25 gallon aquarium and have let it run with water (but no fish) for a week now. How should I begin transitioning the fish from the old aquarium to the new one?

They're not porous, they're slabs of rock.
Right now I have them soaking in boiling water, and a high concentration of aquarium salt.
Will they be safe in my aquarium after this?
I expect the hot water and salt to kill any microorganisms that may hard my fish.
I just hate paying $30 for a dumb rock at the store. How do they prepare their rocks to be aquarium safe?

But I don't know what aquarium ornaments are made from. Also, if I were to find the right item made from the right material, what kind of craft paint would be safe to paint them with? The ones we buy have to be painted with something. Any information is appreciated. Thanks!
