painting a pond?

[aslng]

Is it a good idea to paint a concrete pond (underground) used for koi and
goldfish to make it look better?
I think of using rubber based pond enamel from pond supply. Though, can any
rubber based paint from Home Depot or Yard Bird be fine?
How about the color? Any suggetion? Sea Green, Blue Mist, etc.?

Thanks.

Dri Lok (Home Depot) when dry is fish safe
and comes in colors.

I don't have a concrete pond, but I can say from my experience and from
viewing other ponds...the surface will be covered with a nice layer of
living goo in no time flat. Coloring the surface is probably a waste of
time.
