Oh yeah. I don't have any tanks up and running right now. (I haven't for about a year now) I haven't started painting my room yet. (I will within the next few weeks) I'll paint my room, wait a week for fumes to settle then I'll be able to put my tanks in my room. ;D

Good. We killed some fish that way once. It was pretty depressing and expensive.

You need to turn off your air pumps and seal off the tank with a plastic sheet. Any paint fume that gets in the tank will be a disaster. An air pump will actually force the paint fumes into the tank water.  |

You only have to keep the tank covered until the fumes go away. Usually a day is enough if you use fans and open windows.
