Fin rot:

Fin rot is a common disease in tropical fish. It gradually necroses from the front end of the caudal fin, causing the tail fin to become shorter. It is similar to mouth rot, where the mouth tip necroses. The disease is caused by columnar bacteria parasitizing the Blue-eye Bitterling. If the infection is not detected quickly and treated immediately, it can easily spread to other individuals. When the disease occurs, there is an obvious loss of the tail fin, and the symptoms are obvious.
