You would put risk at risk for one reason parasites. But besides that they would most likely be safe as long as the water supply is poluted.

those tiger barbs are gunna be gone when the JD gets bigger..but they sound fine..rinse then really good in hot water..yea it'll kill them..but I doubt you want your fish sick anyways, or want a snail outbreak.
