Is it possible to paint the premade ponds you buy in stores blue like a swimming pool? If so, what kind of paint should you use. I don’t like the black. It’s too hard to see the fish, etc.

Hi,
You wouldn't want to paint anything that would be under the water. maybe you could line the tank with tile of your color choice. Just my opinion. I don't like the black either, I wish they makde a blue linner.

I don't like the pond paints. I guess I should have stated that in my first reply. I have used them before, and in my experience the paint started to chip after the first year. The paints do come in those colors but in my pond they started to chip and my koi picked at the paint, so I tiled my pond with 12 x 12 tiles and bonded them with silicone. I just wanted to share my experience with the paint.

It actually didn't look that bad. I used a darker aqua color and only used one color.

I must admit I had it in my mind too.. Love the idea.. I was wondering though if I could use the pool paint I've seen online.
