I did diped them in the salt water, not the fresh. Will that cause any problems? I did not see any mites, although I tried to handle them as little as possible and gave them a quick once over. I will need to do a more thorough inspection of mites once I get home from work.

Would it be safe to assume If I see nothing on 3 the other 3 should be mite free as well?

Agreed :)

Edit: It wouldn't hurt to look them over though! Just don't stress out about it.
