Expert Answer

Mouth rot needs prompt isolation and treatment. It usually comes from poor water, over-stimulation, or infected wounds and is somewhat contagious, so isolate the fish, stop feeding, and treat. Clean the spot and apply iodine or yellow powder. Timely treatment is key – delay can leave a permanent deformity.
