Abstract
In fishes majority of the pathogenic agent of disease are bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. Generally, the primary causes of contagion are gram-negative bacteria, which have been identified often from diseased fish, resulting in increased mobility and death rates. Bacterial illness can become evident as acute, chronic, or peracute symptoms, but the challenge is that when signs emerged and the disease was recognized, it's too late to cure. Aeromonas are most devastating among all the bacteria and cause significant losses in all cultures, including the ornamental fish culture. It is eminently found in water and is constantly present. An extrinsic agent such as overpopulated, sloppy handling, deteriorating water which leads to degrading quality, contaminated food, and inadequate diet, might incline fish towards Aeromonas infection. Motile species of Aeromonas are recognised as the etiological agents of motile Aeromonad septicemia infections in ornamental fish, which cause significa

Conclusion
Aeromonas can be found in ornamental fish environments such as fish tanks, culture systems, and transport begs within fish. But it requires a trigger to activate, such as poor water quality, excess food, or stress. It can treat three disorders in particular: Ulcer disease, MAS, and Furunculosis, and it is suggested that more research is required for the identification of new conditions related to Aeromonas infection because it is among the commercially significant pathogenic bacteria. Aeromonas is both virulent and avirulent. It has virulence due to the occurrence of several essential virulent factors such as secretion systems, extracellular enzymes, and exotoxins. It also contains certain virulent factors, although they are not as crucial. Finally, disease prevention and management are critical. It is crucial to mention in this section that preclusion is better than Treatment; thus it is crucial to adopt sound management practices and create a stress-free environment. If a disease occ
