Pond Paint

[Aquagility]

I'm trying to find a way of disguising the concrete blocks within a pond. The only pond paints which I can find are two-pot epoxy, specifically for stopping leaks, but my needs are purely cosmetic.
Do any of you know if ordinary masonry paint might have a harmful effect on plants or fish?

No expert but found this :

"AND NOW FOR THE PAINT The best paint to use is an exterior masonry paint in smooth or textured finish."

Ah scrub that, it's fish troughs to put plants in :-(

I'd have thought it was ok or Google would be screaming "DON'T" when one searched. But if you can get fish friendly paints so much the better.

There are 2-pack epoxy paints for concrete floors. They're not always for leakproofing, Aqua.

I would have thought that good old Dulux Weathershield masonry paint would be enough. Also, I've used "parlour paints" in milking parlours. I don't know if they are fish-friendly, but the cows don't seem to mind ;o)

You can also buy cellar paint, usually used for cellars in pubs.

Any good?

I think it's available on Amazon as well

why not just use a layer of coloured polythene assuming the concrete blocks are leak proof, or a pond liner

Thanks to all of you.
Paul, the pond is lined, but the concrete blocks are inside the liner. The need is to disguise them without poisoning plants or fish.
The general consensus seems to be that ordinary masonry paint will be OK.
