    Question Background paint?

    i made a styrofoam background and want to add some color. Would regular spray paint harm the fish? Whats the best way to finish the background for a natural look? Thanks everyone

    Krylon Fusion for Plastics is fish/invert safe after a 7-day cure. It is available at Home Hardware. It should work on styro too. I used it on PVC filter intake/outputs in heavily planted high tech tanks that use CO2 and house fresheater shrimp.

    Hopefully that helps.
