What are the differences between fin rot and fin tear in fish, and how can they be distinguished from each other?

Fin rot and fin tear are both common conditions in fish that affect their fins. Fin rot is a bacterial infection that causes the fins to appear ragged, discolored, and deteriorated. On the other hand, fin tear is a physical injury that results in a clean, straight tear in the fin tissue. To distinguish between the two, look for signs of infection such as redness, inflammation, and a fuzzy appearance in fin rot. In contrast, fin tear will have a clear, distinct tear in the fin without any signs of infection. Additionally, fin rot is usually accompanied by other symptoms like lethargy and loss of appetite, while fin tear is typically a result of physical trauma.
