Painted pots?

so i changed the rocks for flower pots for the fish to breed but it just hit me the pot is painted i got it at kmart did not think about it but the paint is really hard is this gonna be a preblem?
Answers:
If it's from Kmart it's probably made in China so there are likely nasty chemicals in the paint. I don't think I'd trust it.
If the pot has a glazed finish( shiney like dinnerwhare ) it should be ok .If it is not you are taking a chance on leaching chemicals into the tank that could be deadly to your fish
you might be safe as long as the paint doesnt have lead in it
