I'm about to decorate the area of the house my fish inhabit.

Anyone know a Fish Friendly paint out there ?

Good experiences or bad of well known paint
names ??

Thanks

You could put a polyfilter in the filter as insurance if you can't find a
good brand of paint.

Hi Edward,

I haven't tried this myself but I saw a good suggestion for coping with
any fumes.

Put an air pump in a fume free room and run an extended tube into the
room with the tank.

Tape some plastic sheet over the top of the tank with a small hole in
it. The slight positive pressure keeps the fumes out until the paint is dry.

Hope it helps,

John

I reckon you've cracked it. I'll buy a stonking great pump and
give it a go.
