Cheesy looks sooo awful... I'm freaking out. I keep waiting for him to get better with water changes, but he keeps getting worse. I am afraid to treat him because he doesn't have the dark spots that I keep reading about fin rot and he has the weird thinning/whitening Please help. Here are some pics he is flared in these pics. My avatar has what he used to look flared. I hate how slowly he is going down hill, I have a knot in my chest every time I look at him. I wish he'd just get better or die.
On this one you can see at the very top where his body is starting to change colors. It looks red in the pic, but it's changing to white
He is in the back of the bowl in this pic so his body looks kind of distorted, but this is the best full fin flare shot
