The glue in glue guns won't hurt your fish if you let it dry for 24 hrs but I found it wan't as strong as I needed it to be. Best to go with 100% clear silicone and just have to do the job once. I buy mine at Lowes and got a big tube and use a caulking gun to apply it.

just make sure it's 100% pure silicone. a lot of them will add anti mildew/mold agents
