Fish Diseases. Branchiomycosis (gill rot) Definition: It is a fungal disease involving gill tissues, affecting the most species of freshwater fish.
Symptoms and Causes of Fin Rot. The most common causes of fin rot are poor water quality and improperly low water temperature. Overcrowding the tank, feeding outdated food or overfeeding the fish, and moving or handling the fish can also cause stress leading to fin rot. Fin rot can be the result of a bacterial infection (Pseudomonas fluorescens, which causes a ragged rotting of the fin), or as a fungal infection (which rots the fin more evenly and is more likely to produce a white 'edge'). Sometimes, both types of infection are seen together.
It is a fungal disease involving gill tissues, affecting the most species of freshwater fish. The disease is caused by Branchiomyces sanguinis and Branchiomyces demigrans.
