~!~ Any Fish Safe Paints? ~!~

[v3n0m]

I recently had to put a divider in one of my tanks to house a new male FH. I have alot of plexiglass laying around so I went out and cut a piece to fit and popped it in. My problem is that my 8" female on the other side of him is EXTREMELY aggressive and lunges at him quite a bit and scares the little fella. I dont want him to be scared at all, I want him to be 100 percent at peace atm so I can really get the most out of him. So, are there any paints out there that will be ok for me to use to paint my diy divider with? Thanks guys.

I use Krylon Fusion to paint PVC and acrylic.

This.

I am assuming that you have filtration on both sides of the tank right?

yes, I have separate filtration on each side. On the Krylon website it says safe to handle in 1 hour, 100percent chip resistant in 7 days...So how long should I wait before putting it back in the tank?

I have heard of people putting it in after a couple of hours but I usually wait a couple of days just to be sure.

I painted it, then put it in the tank the next day.

I'd also wait a few days just to be safe
