Recognizing, diagnosing and treating bacterial infections is not an easy, straight forward task. Bacterial infections may affect internal organs,
external organs or both and more than one pathogenic organism can cause similar symptoms. Bacterial infections can stem from many causes, even
combinations of contributing causes, and result in potentially fatal diseases. Fortunately, most bacterial infections in fish are manageable if
caught and treated early enough.
Symptoms include but not limited to:
Rapid breathing.
Reddened and frayed fins, or red streaks through the fins.
Disintegration of the fins (fin and tail rot).
Redness, streaks or blotches along the lateral line.
Open sores on the body and near the fins.
Bloody scales at the base of the fins.
A gray film over the eyes and/or body.
Loss of appetite.
Listlessness or lethargy.
Abdominal swelling or bloating
Recommended Medications
ANTIBIOTICS
Dissolve in small amount of tank water before adding to tank
Kanamycin
Nitrofurazone
Maracyn-1
maracyn-2
Formalin
Oxytetracyline
furan 2
Erythromycin
Tetracycline
