Fluconazole VS. Bryopsis Discussion Thread

[Jakegr]

Wow there are some amazing pictures in this thread!

I'll just add that fluconazole is generally quite well tolerated by animals, but we shouldn't say there are "no adverse effects". You definitely seem them in land animals. There could be adverse effects, but we just don't notice them because they would be very hard to see in fish (unless the adverse reaction is death!). The most common adverse drug reaction would be gastrointestinal related, which we probably wouldn't notice in our fish. It is also possible for the drug to have adverse effects on the fishes liver, but again unless you necropsy dead fish or do other diagnostics you probably wouldn't notice. I would just to monitor your fishes appetite post-treatment and see if their feces look normal.

Anyways that is just FYI. This looks like an extremely useful tool to have for Bryopsis problems.
