Fishkeeping is one of the oldest and most popular hobbies worldwide. The increasing interest in fishkeeping has caused a steady growth in the ornamental fish trade. A total of 2 billion ornamental fish, including 4,500 freshwater and 1,450 marine fish species are traded around the world. Fish diseases, especially bacterial diseases, bring massive economic losses in the ornamental fish industry. Poor husbandry practices can cause environmental stressors associated with unacceptable water quality conditions and improper handling procedures, which can predispose fish to bacterial diseases. Aeromonas spp., Gram-negative opportunistic bacteria, can cause furunculosis and motile aeromonad septicaemia, causing significant fish mortality, and the presence of different virulence factors, such as exotoxins, extracellular enzymes, secretion systems and others, leads to the virulence potential of Aeromonas spp. in ornamental fish. Ornamental fish producers and retailers use various antimicrobials belonging to different antimicrobial groups for prophylactic and preventive treatments to decrease the bacterial disease outbreaks during fish handling and harvesting. However, the abusive use of antimicrobials in the ornamental fish industry may cause multidrug resistance among the bacteria. This review paper highlights various virulence factors related to Aeromonas pathogenicity and the antimicrobial resistance genes associated with the multidrug-resistance phenotypes of Aeromonas spp. in ornamental fish.
