Fin Rot

Definition: Fin rot is a common fish disease characterized by the inflammation and deterioration of a fish's fins. It is often caused by bacterial infections that can occur when fish are stressed or kept in poor water conditions.

Function in the Aquarium: Think of finrot as a fish having a bad day. When fish get stressed or the water quality isn't ideal, bacteria can attack their fins, causing inflammation and deterioration. It's essential to address the root cause, like improving water conditions, to help the fish recover.
