The fish were exposed to Floraguard to determine the LC50 values. The static bioassay experiments were carried out by Finney’s method (1971).The fish was exposed to different concentrations of floraguard and the result showed the LC50 values at 24, 48, 72 and96 hours were 2.6230 ppm, 2.3474 ppm, 2.1478 ppm and 1.9870 respectively.
