Does anyone know of any specific brands of paint that are safe for use within an aquarium?

Greatly appreciated

What do you want to paint?

making some decoration type thngs out of styrofoam and would like to paint them to look like rocks. Or, cover them with cemant, then paint them to look like rocks. Kind of waiting to see what I can use before I decide.

you could also seal it in a safe clear coat epoxy

Thanks for the link! I think I will just paint it then coat it all in epoxy, seems to be the best route.

any 100% latex paint is safe for aquarium use. Be sure its ONE HUNDRED PERCENT LATEX
