What are the symptoms of a fish infected with VHS?
Like many fish diseases, the type of symptoms present in a fish change with the severity of the infection. Fish may display few to no symptoms, or as the infection worsens, signs may include bulging eyes, bloated abdomens, inactive or overactive behavior, bleeding in the eyes, skin, gills and at the base of the fins. Because many of these signs look like those caused by other fish diseases, testing is necessary to determine whether a fish is infected with VHS.
