Is there a non toxic (to fish) spray paint for a plastic pond?

I want to spray paint my black plastic fish pond a lighter color but can't seem to find one that is non toxic to fish and can be applied to plastic. If the paint has to be rolled or brushed on, which would adhear to plastic and not be toxic to my fish & turtles?


DON'T DO IT! Krylon makes a spray paint called FUSION for plastic but...even after the 7-day curing time, it can still be scraped off with your finger nail. Envision some of the paint coming off in the pond water and your fish or turtle mistakes it for a flake of food. Not a good scenario! I suggest buying light-colored fish (not gray or black) and maybe putting a spot light just under the water. You could have it shine upward into a fountain at night. Too, once the pond is well established with your fish, plants, etc., your liner (over time) is going to turn a greenish-brown from the algae and water sentiments, anyway. Someday, you may even want to power wash it and any paint that has been under water will simply flake off.

Surprise! My pond survived the cold

1500 Gal pond near New Orleans. goldfish , mollies, guppies and two Rainbows. We just had a week of the coldest weather we've had here in 20 years. Went into the teens for 5-6 nights. When I saw the first weather reports I covered my ponds with plastic coverings, (two sections, one manly a waterfall into the second larger section) and kept the pump running. Finally started to warm up today so I took off the covers. I expected that I would be scooping out a bunch of dead fish. Instead, I only found two dead ones in the filter box, and all the others were fine. I guess the covering worked. Might be something that others may find useful. It had to be the visqueen plastic covering. We had some rain, which collected on top of the plastic laying over the pond water. That night it really got cold, around 18 degrees. But the rain water sitting on top of the plastic never froze. The cover must have trapped a lot of heat. When I took the cover off today the fish were not even sluggish. They were all dashing around. I don't know that it would help when you have 3-5 inches of ice though. Jeez, I hate cold.
