Hi is there any spray paint you can use to color the inside of an acrylic tank(Background) safely if yes what brand and kind is it will it be safe for the fishes Thank's.
 
I have been told that the Krylon Fusion paints made for plastics have been used on PVC inside of tanks with no problems. You could try that.

Why can't you just paint the outside of the back?

no cause mine got a painted blue thing already and I think it was not painted from the back.
 
I'm not sure if its safe or not, but I know people paint their intake/outflow tubes for their canisters. Painting smaller things might be safe, just because of the amount of paint used, versus the size of the tank to render the paint harmless. So I'm not sure if it would be safe to paint and entire background, check the can for more details about the content of the paint, so maybe someone can verify whether or not it will be safe.
 
need more inputs Thank's guy's.
