Infectious Diseases in Fish

Infectious diseases in fish are illnesses caused by pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that enter and multiply within the fish's body. These diseases can result from poor water quality, stress, or injury, and may cause symptoms such as fin damage, spots, swelling, or abnormal swimming. They can spread quickly in aquariums or ponds, affecting individual fish and overall health. Proper water maintenance, good hygiene, quarantine of new fish, and prompt treatment are essential to prevent and control infectious diseases, ensuring a healthy environment for fish to thrive.
