is A. falcatus(red tail barracuda) volunerable to medication overdose's? or are they just fine with the recommended dosses? I heard they're close relatives to tetras which is why i'm wondering
ANY fish is vulnerable to meds overdose. Why even ask this question? What are you treating? Could it be easily relieved by higher temp and salt? You should always follow the recommendations when treating.

Stand down soilder...Vince is right that we will need to know what you are treating the fish for and what med you are using....I understand the question because certain fish don't tolerate meds at recomemded doses.
Got to give us a little more to go on though

I ment vulnerable to overdose with the recommended dosage that it states on the label. ummmmm no not all fish can tolerate the recommended dosses. Elephant noses and other scaless fish for example will die if given those dosses. They usually require a half dose to avoid fatality.
It is not one of the fish you read about as being extra sensitive like some loaches,cats,or mormydids.
