What causes fin rot, and how can it be controlled?

What will be an ideal response?


Fin rot is a condition especially prevalent in brightly colored fish or those with long, trailing fins, such as
the black mollies. The edges of the fins will start to lose their color, the tissue between the rays will begin to
break down, and the fins will become ragged. The fins become shorter as the condition persists. The disease is
believed to be caused by a bacterium, along with a contributing factor such as a vitamin-deficient diet, poor
water conditions, or fin nipping by other fish. Commercially prepared treatments are available; treatment of
marine species may be more difficult.
