painting

Hello all- I plan on painting my livingroom, where i have my 55 gallon fish tank. Any precautions i should take with my fish?

Dry them off first or else the paint will run!

No you should be ok, or do you mean you have to move the aquarium?

I would put a drop cloth over it to be on the safe side

I'm worried about the paint fumes....

Hiya and welcome
Turn off all air pumps, open all windows whilst painting, if possble cover the tank with clingfilm to minimize fumes entering the tank. Keep the room well ventilated for a few days
