Rotfish are slow to medium speed minor monsters that act as a nuisance in bodies of water, most notably in e2m3 and e4m4. They are not renowned as a meaningful threat and will simply consume a negligible amount of shells to dispose of. Rotfish are erroneously counted twice when assessing the monster population of a level, but only give credit for one kill, resulting in an imperfect Kill score at the level's end if they are present. In rare circumstances a Rotfish's head can be found incorrectly rendered.

Tactics
If Rotfishes are even a concern, let them get moderately close and kill them with a shot from the Double-Barrelled Shotgun, that will take care of them most likely.
Bugs/Issues
Due to a bug Rotfish count twice to the total monster count of a level but only once when killed (as they should).[1]. This leads to players not being able to get a 100% monster kill count in levels that contain fish.
Contrary to other monsters the corpse of a killed fish does not turn non-solid immediately, blocking the player from passing through.
A small mod exists to fix both issues mentioned above: https://www.quaddicted.com/files/mods/q106fishfix.zip
