Painting & decorating

I am just wondering if fish are affected by paint fumes ?
The inside of the house is being completey redecorated and I just want to know if there are any precautions I might take.

Cheers

Wear some old clothes

Seriously, keep the windows open, but it shouldn't be TOO bad. I'd be more worried about dust and particles than the fumes from the paint.

Particularly, the fumes from solvent-based paint isn't likely to solve in water anyways, so it should be just fine. Water-based paint doesn't usually contain much harmfull stuff anyways, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.
