latex paint, and if you are still woried (witch i am just paranoid) get some 100% Silicone sealant and spray it on after the paint drys. It will seal any chemicals that might be mixed with the latex.

latex holds very well and peels off easily for any time you want to change the color or decide it's not yhe right color

Anything is "safe" after it's dry. I just used a high VOC quick-dry Krylon on one of my tanks. The solvents flash off so quickly that you can do a respray in 4 minutes on a 75F-degree day, and still get no wrinkling.

Zero ill effects to my livestock and plants.
