Fin rot

Fin rot is a common fish disease caused by bacterial infection, often resulting from poor water quality or injury. It begins with the edges of the fish’s fins appearing frayed, discolored, or torn, and can progress to the entire fin deteriorating. If untreated, it can lead to stress, weakened immunity, and other health issues. Maintaining clean water, good tank hygiene, and prompt treatment with suitable antibiotics or medications are essential for recovery. Early detection and care are key to preventing the disease from worsening and saving the affected fish.
