The short answer NO!

Why?

 

[cutechic]

Hot glue is usually toxic to fish, and often deteriorates if under water 24/7.

Uh oh. I guess I'd better take the hot glue off of my filter then before I set up my tank!!!

Be sure the silcone you use is just that. There are alot of brands out there that have anti-mold agants and other chemicals that can be just a deadly to fish.
