I've updated this popular article FROM: www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Vibrio_Aeromonas.html Here is an excerpt: "Identification of Aeromonas, Furunculosis, & Vibrio in Aquariums & Ponds. Also symptoms or manifestations of these bacterial pathogens such as Septicemia, Pop-Eye, Intestinal, swim bladder and occasionally Dropsy in Fresh or Saltwater.
Aeromonas and Vibrio (along with Aeromonas' cold water cousin Furunculosis) are anaerobic gram negative bacterium with similar manifestations such as infecting wounds, gastroenteritis, as well as being the primary bacterium cause of hemorrhagic septicemia. Other manifestations may include pop-eye and Dropsy.
* Aeromonas is more common in freshwater while Vibrio is more common in brackish and saltwater. * Aeromonas salmonicida (commonly called Furunculosis ) is a variant of Aeromonas that is more common in coldwater, often affecting Koi and Trout. * Aeromonas is the most common cause of Septicemia (which is more a symptom or condition than an actual disease), that often shows as red streaks in fins as well as more severe symptoms (often there is little that can be done at this point other than prevent other fish from severe Aeromonas/Septicemia infections). * Aeromonas & the similar Pseudomonas Bacteria are a common cause of “Pop-Eye” in fish * Aeromonas is often a factor in intestinal infections or pathogen induced swim bladder problems * Dropsy can be caused by internal (systemic Aeromonas infections)"Carl
