What happened to this fish?

Essential Question

Why would fish disease be hard to spot?

Common Fish Diseases

Clamped Fins The fish clamps its fins close against the its body

Shimmy swimming fast but staying in the same place.

Ich Spots tiny white spots on the body and fins of the

fish.

Clamp and Ich

Common Fish Diseases Red or White Sores

Many things can cause sores on fish such as fights with other fish, scraping on sharp rocks, and small wounds that get infected

and grow bigger. Crashed on the Bottom

When fish crash on the bottom and do not swim, it is usually a sign that they are exhausted. There are many reasons a fish can become exhausted, but quite often they have been sick, and probably showed symptoms such as gasping, shimmy, or clamped fins, before they became tired and crashed on the bottom.

Diseases Glancing

is a fish behavior where a fish rubs itself on the bottom of the aquarium, or on the gravel, or on a rock or ornament. The fish

rubs or glances because it is itchy. Loss of Appetite

If your fish is not eating or takes food in its mouth and then immediately spits it out, your fish is showing one of the Signs of Stress and Disease.

DiseasesPop-eye in itself is not a disease but is

more a symptom of an underlying infection.

Red Sores, Pop eye

Gasping at the Surface Gasping at the Surface

A fish that is gasping at the surface of the water is usually suffering from a lack of oxygen, that could be due to a lack of oxygen in the water or the fish's

inability to absorb the oxygen from the water.
