Is this safe to use on an aquarium?

is this safe to paint the back of the tank? I always used the acrylic type but found this home from a previous project. Thanks

Should be fine on the outside. Just be aware that most latex paint doesn’t like to stick to glass. It will likely scratch easily.

Is there water in the tank?

No, it will be used on the back

i always use latex on the outside back, never had a problem with peeling or scratching. nice part is it peels right off. i have also applied it with water in the tank.

I've used that on the outside back of a couple of my tanks, it works well, hasn't chipped or flaked and its been 2 years since I painted the first one. I suggest to use spray paint, using a brush might leave marks, the spraypaint coats it on perfectly (just be careful not to spray too much in one place cause then you get a drip and that sucks)
