I´m not talking about LD50 effects -I´m talking about sublethal effects. Other inhibitors of the CYP51 has shown to affect the reproduction of at least fathead minnow. It is an old enzyme - developed early in the evolutionary history, hence represented in many kingdoms of living organisms.
The only chemical/remedy that i would use in aquaria is products based on H2O2, the naturs own remedy for many problems. With H2O2 I know for sure - there will be no long time effects - rest product is always oxygen gas and water.

Exactly - you nail the problem with using chemicals in order to defeat biological problems. You will never know which dose is safe in the long run. I´m old enough to have heard about the drug that should save the humans of the world until an American scientist, Rachel Carson, publish the book "Silent Spring" 27 September 1962. The compound that was this holly gral until that day was DDT.the difference between what is "remedy" and what is "poison", whether to humans, other animals or plants, has always been the dose.
