One of my buds has extended his fishpond. He took out the old fibre
bottom, extended the pond, concreted the interior, then painted it
with normal waterproof exterior paint. Is this ok or will it kill the
fish, he wonders, a bit late in my opinion? I know there is such stuff
as pond-paint; should he go get some?


I'd give it at least what the manufacturer recommends for curing, and then a
few days extra. I then would not worry about it. My bigger concern would be
that concrete is pourous. He's gonna get moisture penetration from behind.
That paint won't be on there for long. LOL.
