Aquarium-safe paint?

I want to paint these annoying Clownfish Veggie clips blue to blend with my background. What kind of paint is aquarium-safe? Thanks

I used regular old rust-o-leum plastic paint with no issues. Krylon fusion I've also heard is safe.

Just to clarify, IN the tank? Like submerged, no harm to fish?

Most paints when dry will be safe. Krylon fusion is made for plastic and will adhere better than most. many have used it safely.
